Cell-sized Nanoparticle-modified microrobots and Colloidal nanoelectronic nano robots that are so tiny, they can literally float in the air.

"...the lead researcher experimented with “two-dimensional electronic materials, including graphene and transition-metal dichalcogenides”. During the process, he found that the new thin-sized electronics could be grafted on colloids, staying operational even after being propelled into water or air..." (the MIT one, the 2nd one)
