This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Maybe at nanobot scales this would be awesome for delivering cures and stabbing viruses. The distributed sensors could be working together but also each one specialise in spotting certain virus traits. It can actuate legs, grabbers or stabbers with the same mechanisms for simplicity.
