Experts warned that powerful “neurotechnologies,” conceived to help people who are paralyzed or have other disorders, pose threats to privacy and human autonomy.
What if you could install a chip to amp up your brainpower — would you remember every word said during a meeting, finish crossword puzzles faster, drive better thanks to enhanced senses, or pick up a new language before your next trip?
Futurist and inventor Ray Kurzweil predicts humans are going to develop emotions and characteristics of higher complexity as a result of connecting their brains to computers. “We’re going to be funnier. We’re going to be...
Microscopic bioelectronic devices could one day travel through the body’s circulatory system and autonomously self-implant in a target region of the brain. These “circulatronics” can be wirelessly powered to provide focused electrical stimulation to a precise region of the brain, which could b... Read more
Our cells are more malleable than we thought – and by transforming them inside the body, we can mend broken hearts or even degenerating brains from within
Researchers have developed a synthetic fabric that can sense, adapt to its environment, respond to stimuli and repair itself when it breaks. According to the researchers, this technology could...
Take a look at this! Scientists have developed synthetic T cells that provide targeted immunosuppression, making them ideal for treating transplant rejection and autoimmune diseases.
Synthetic T Cells Provide Precision Immunosuppression
The miniature models have the potential to significantly speed up vaccine development, advance cancer treatment research, and enhance health outcomes for a wide range of diseases. To gain deeper insight into why some cancer patients have difficulty combating infections, researchers at Georgia Tec
As humanity sets its sights on long-duration missions to the moon, Mars, and beyond, keeping astronauts healthy will be as critical as building rockets or habitats. A new paper appearing in npj Microgravity explores the possibilities of synthetic biology in accomplishing this.
Isn’t having any technology in your brain just asking for trouble?
Besides memory issues, brain implants could also help treat mental health issues and chronic diseases in the coming years.
That reality is very near!
Take a look at this 2015 article that predicted the use of nanobot brain implants that would make people super intelligent by the 2030s. https://www.noemamag.com/ray-kurzweil-in-the-2030s-nanobots-in-our-brains-will-make-us-godlike/
Elon Musk’s brain chip can do this!
MIT researchers have developed surgery-free microscopic implants that can stimulate the brain.
It looks like they have already been invented!

Natural body organs can heal and repair themselves, and scientists are working on ways to stimulate that process.
Imagine a lab-grown heart that can repair itself! This could soon become a reality in a few decades.
They are also working on a self-healing artificial muscle.
It’s been done! Scientists have developed an artificial skin that can heal itself.
Take a look at this! Scientists have developed synthetic T cells that provide targeted immunosuppression, making them ideal for treating transplant rejection and autoimmune diseases.
Lab-grown immune systems are being used for cancer vaccine research.
Synthetic immune systems could be the solution to addressing the health risks of long-duration space missions.
Researchers have also developed engineered immune system receptors that could deliver targeted cancer therapies.
It’s been done! Scientists have developed an artificial lymph node that could treat cancer.
