Nanomotors have been controlled inside living cells for the first time, report a team of chemists and engineers at Penn State University. The scientists placed tiny rocket-shaped synthetic motors inside live human cells, propelled them with ultrasonic waves and steered them magnetically to spin and to battering against the cell membrane.
