Micro machines

Wow. simply wow. Go to your favorite search engine and type in MEMS gallery and see what people have been making. microscopic gears and other mechanical systems no bigger than the width of a human hair. Clutches, transmissions, tweezers, etc. They're not just theoretical either! Some of them are used to make inkjet print cartridges work.

Maybe micronauts will really exist some day!
