Forget skull-cracking surgeries like Neuralink’s wire-fest—MIT’s mad scientists have cooked up Circulatronics, a swarm of tiny wireless “SWEDs” that hitch a ride on your immune cells like uninvited party crashers, zipping through your bloodstream to zap inflamed brain bits with mini electric shocks. It’s basically turning your monocytes into cyborg Uber drivers delivering therapy to Alzheimer’s hideouts or stroke zones, all without a single incision. In rodent tests, they wirelessly bossed these bots around like a remote-control fever dream, and the lead boffin promises this injectable magic could soon colonize your knees, heart, or that stubborn beer gut—because why stop at upgrading your noggin when you can biohack the whole meat suit?
