Are you an early adopter who loves the latest tech? Good. We’ll let YOU be the guinea pig for this.
Researchers in China announced a new way to treat sinus infections. Instead of antibiotics, you’ll just shoot an army of TINY ROBOTS up your nose. (!!!)
It’s the latest in “nano-bot” technology, or technically they’re “micro-bots” because they’re still big enough to see under a normal microscope. But even micro-bots are VERY small. Each tiny nose robot is smaller than a speck of dust, way thinner than a human hair, and they’re programmed to wipe out bacteria.
It’s not clear how many they have to shoot up your nose. They just called it a “SWARM” of tiny robots.
They tested them on animals and say they could be approved to treat sinus and bladder infections in humans in five to 10 years.
They’re still figuring out how to make sure they can get them all OUT of your body when they’re done. But they’re hoping they’ll just come out when you blow your nose.
Their other big concern is whether we’ll be WILLING to shoot robots up our nose. The conspiracy crowd will claim Bill Gates wants to control your thoughts.
