  • Device Guru: 'Nanosoccer competitions were first publicly demonstrated last year at the international RoboCup competition... The soccer nanobots, operated by human players via remote-controlled magnetic fields and electrical signals, slide tiny discs around on a 30mm x 30mm playing field. The human players view the competition through an optical microscope.'
