They envision armies of gnat-size robots exploring space, performing surgery inside the human body or possibly building skyscrapers one atom at a time. "Microelectronics is on the verge of a second revolution," says Jeffrey Lang, a professor of electromechanics at M.I.T. "We're still dreaming of applications...
