[ExI] MIT lab is developing nanotechnology

[BillK]

I've just watched a BBC TV documentary on the latest assistive technology.
The final section was a visit to the MIT Nano-Cybernetic Biotrek Lab.
The nanotech that they discussed with Professor Deblina Sarkar was almost
unbelievable.

This recent article discusses their research.

Scientists Test Tiny Injectable Brain Chips That Could Treat Brain
Disorders Without Invasive Surgery

An arm injection may soon replace brain surgery thanks to self-implanting
chips.

Imagine treating a brain disease with a jab in the arm instead of a hole in
the skull. That’s the future a team at MIT is sketching out with a
technology they call Circulatronics. It’s a mash-up of tiny microscopic
electronics and the body’s own immune cells that can slip through the
bloodstream, cross into the brain, and self-install at sites of disease.

Once there, these tiny devices wait for a beam of invisible light from
outside the body for instructions. The implants stimulate tiny regions of
the brain sometimes just a few dozen microns across.
