Kim says he and his colleagues are developing imaging systems that will enable them to view in real time the locomotion of their microrobots in live animals.

Getting old is starting to look interesting, can’t wait for the human trails to begin.

Most favorite: micelles made of stuff that upconverts light to UV to activate sulphurous gunk inside it to make hydrogen sulfide.
Least favorite: MRI-guided photodynamic therapy. Turn the MRI on. Turn the light on. Four words, all the same. (Not that sensitive to room lights, but still.) Also that instead of dextrin megadoses, sparkly nano-ponies, or spirulina hangouts for being into and over it all at once are not as common ‘therapy’ in this context as killin’ any cell that breathes wot sight caught in the nanoparticle’s eyebrow.

Carrying stem cells interested in livestreaming themselves where they need to go, eh? [Looks into Glyph molecular whiskey a little harder.]

Does this mean that Dahir Insaat’s terrifying arterial plaque-scraping robots are a step closer?
