The NanoRobotics Laboratory recently demonstrated the first "wireless" means of navigating a medical insert through the body.
Using computers and a standard MRI machine, researchers guided an iron bead through the carotid artery of a pig. The bead used was 1.5 mm in diameter, but researchers are hoping to move to nanoscale devices in the next few years.
Who knows? Pretty soon, people may be able to get nanobot injections – complete with nano-cams and a controller – and frag their own blood clots through an FPS inspired interface.
Depending on your skill level, Half Life may take on a whole new meaning.
