For those wondering: The energy source is an alternating external electric field
This has gotta be the 10th "We have invented Nano-Bots!!! (That are really just shapes controlled by a big magnet outside the body) That I have seen in the past decade or 2)
It's the equivalent of moving around a mini sailboat in a pool using a leaf blower. Just because you found ways to make it move in incredible ways, doesn't make it a robot.
None of them are ever robots and none of them are ever Nano-Bots. Yes, they are useful advances in medicine, but every article, (and seemingly the researchers too,) love to sensationalize them to high heaven.
No one can invent nano bots, they need to be stepwise developed.
