Remote Controlled With A Magnetic Field, Aggregates Of Plastic Particles On A Microchip Function Like Stirrers And Pumps - 
Sometimes physicists resort to tried and trusted model-making tricks. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Metals Research, the University of Stuttgart and the Colorado School of Mines have constructed micromachines using the same trick that model makers use to get ships into a bottle where the masts and rigging of the sailing ship are not erected until it is in the bottle.

Function Of Helical Band In Heart Detailed - 
Scientists have created images of the heart's muscular layer that show, for the first time, the connection between the configuration of those muscles and the way the human heart contracts. More precisely, they showed that the muscular band -- which wraps around the inner chambers of the heart in a helix -- is actually a sort of twisting highway along which each contraction of the heart travels.
