Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2012, 51, 7519–7522. This paper introduces a new type of micromachine that owes its amazing power to ultrasound, which explosively vaporizes tiny drops of liquid, accelerating the machines like bullets. These powerful fuel-free microbullets could be used one day to drive drugs deep into diseased tissue or shoot genes into cell nuclei for gene therapy.
