If you work with Micro-Electro-Mechanical (MEMS) devices and you thought that was so cool, you are way out of touch with the latest and greatest (well, not in size) technology! How small do you think is the world's smallest technology? The previous record was 200 nanometers, while a single strand of hair is about 60,000 nanometers!
Now, researchers in Tufts university have built the smallest electric motor, which is one nanometer in size! We humans can now build and control something that small, and at the same time see things millions of light years away. Mind boggling, is not it?
