Dust-Size "Crabs" Grab Living Cells in Lab Video

A wirelessly-controlled micro-gripper has been videotaped grasping living cells as a demonstration of what it is capable of. Only now working in a laboratory situation, they hope to eventually have a device available for use in minimally-invasive surgery. The developers caution that a great deal of work still needs to be done so practical implementation is years down the road.
