Motherboard reporter Becky Ferreira writes that MIT researchers have developed a robotic thread that could be used to treat neurological blood clots or strokes. The robot could be equipped with drugs or lasers “that could be delivered to problem areas in the brain. This type of minimally invasive technique may also be useful in mitigating damage from neurological emergencies such as strokes.”
