Micro microwave does pinpoint cooking for miniaturized labs

Researchers at NIST and George Mason University have demonstrated what is probably the world's smallest microwave oven, a tiny mechanism that can heat a pinhead-sized drop of liquid inside a container slightly shorter than an ant and half as wide as a single hair.
