Fantastic Voyage becomes reality: New 3mm 'robo-surgeon' swims inside your veins to hunt down disease - and destroy it (or a sneaky little ninja assassin)
Fantastic Voyage becomes reality: New 3mm 'robo-surgeon' swims inside your veins to hunt down disease - and destroy it
- 3mm chip can 'swim' through blood vessels
- Powered by electromagnetic waves from outside the body
- Reminiscent of tiny body-exploring craft from 'Fantastic Voyage' film

Doctors in the future might tell patients, 'I'm afraid this is going to require surgery' - then hand over a pill that will do the surgery from inside the body.
A breakthrough at Stanford has created a Fantastic Voyage-style vehicle that can 'swim' through a patient's veins, powered wirelessly by electromagnetic waves from doctors from outside.
Previous prototypes have been hampered by large batteries - but the new machine is around the size of a grain of rice.

I want to live 10,000 years and dance and sing the whole time. There are a few bugs to work out. Some more persistent and inconvenient than others. By the time I reach 10,000, I hope to want more.
