He’s got a good engine could take on a whole new meaning…
Scientists at the university of Cambridge have built the world’s smallest engine.
It is a few billionths of a metre in size, is energised by light and works like a piston.
Give me a few of those in my blood stream to power me up on a Monday morning.
It could lead to a whole new sporting world;
- The International Ant F 1 Series
- Flea Motor-cross
- Snail trick-style jet skiing

P.S. I am sure they will also be some profound epoch inducing medical uses but found animals with engines easier and funnier to come up with! If you can think of anything better let me know!
