		<title>Insect Spy Cyborg Robots are Controlled Remotely, Nuclear Powered</title>
		<description><![CDATA[These cyborg insects can be remotely controlled via a radio transmitter attached to the bug's back. The insect is powered by Nickel-63, a radioactive isotope which is able to supply power for a small amount of electronics for up about 100 years. Too bad that bug won't live that long!
