Smart drugs can diagnose and treat people's diseases, which is unimaginable today. To achieve this goal, smart drugs require a way to communicate their location to medical staff. Considering the small size of smart drugs, it is easier said than done. However, researchers at the California Institute of Technology seem to have found a solution.
It is understood that researchers at the California Institute of Technology have developed a silicon wafer called ATOMS (Magnetic Spin Addressable Transmitter), which can be determined by the same principle as magnetic resonance imaging to determine that it is currently in the human body. The location can be determined at any time.
Mikhail Shapiro, an assistant professor of chemical engineering at the California Institute of Technology, said in an interview: "In order to solve the problem of the location of microdevices in the body, we borrowed some of the principles of NMR and reflected it in In silicon integrated circuits."
The research is still in its infancy, but researchers hope that the device will be deployed to the patient's gastrointestinal tract, blood, and even the brain some day in the future. At that time, ATOMS will be able to measure information such as pH, temperature, pressure and sugar concentration and send it to the doctor wirelessly. According to reports, the final prototype of ATOMS is currently only 1.4 square millimeters and has been confirmed in mice.
Professor Shapiro went on to explain: "Ultimately, we envision a microchip that can circulate in our body to measure the diagnosis or release energy and drugs to treat patients. Integrating smart drugs into these chips, we You can see where they are and what they are doing and tell them what to do."
