Engines invisible to the naked eye....

so i was watching this show, i think on History Channel and they were talking about engines. they said they have made running engines that are so small you cant see them with the naked eye. they said the gears on the engine are the size of a grain of pollin and a red blood cell. so crazy how could they make something so small. they said they might be used to make little plans that can fly into enemy areas to find safe spots. anyone else see or here of this? they can make crazy stuff these days.
