Magnets and their properties have long fascinated everyone from children to scientists, but it's unlikely you’ve ever seen them harnessed quite like this
SRI International (http://www.sri.com/), a **n-profit research firm serving government and industry, has found a **vel way to control tiny, low cost magnets via electromagnetic pulses delivered to them through contact with printed circuit boards.

The patented process, k**wn as Diamagnetic Micro Manipulation (DM3), can move magnetically actuated micro-robots at speeds of up to 3 CM per second, in any direction and even along curved circuit boards. As long as there’s an electromagnetic current running through the circuitry, the magnets will hold on and do your bidding. The system can host **t just one magnet on a board, but dozens, which can work together or perform separate task. All the instruction comes through the electromagnetic pulses in the board.
