Scientists have created a teeny tiny rocket that could swim around in your stomach and fix whatever ails you. You may have heard similar tales before, but this version has an excellent chance of landing in your gut thanks to a hydrogen-powered motor fueled by a hydrogen bubble. Previous microrockets have been fueled by hydrogen peroxide, which disagrees with the human stomach. But this one can get the little motors zooming around at a speedy clip with a tiny bubble propelling it. Wei Gao, Aysegul Uygun and Joseph Wang at the University of California, San Diego published their work in a recent issue of the Journal of the American Chemical Society. They say their microrockets, which are shaped like tiny tubes 10 micrometers long with diameters of two to five micrometers, could be used for targeted drug delivery, nanoimaging, or for the monitoring of industrial processes. They ;re made of polyaniline aka PANI , lined with a thin layer of zinc on the inner surface. Wh
