• Resumen

  • For the first time, a man has controlled nanorobots inside a living creature just by doing mental calculations. The technology released a drug inside cockroaches in response to the man's brain activity. It was designed by a team at the interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya and Bar Ilan University in Ramat Gan, both in Israel, to allow precise control over when a drug is active in the body, reducing side effects. These nanobots are built out of DNA, forming shell-like shapes that drugs can be tethered to.
