No more injections or pills. These corkscrew micromachines go right to clogged-up arteries, carrying drugs to open them up.
One day when we want to deliver drugs to a particular part of the body, we won't use pills or injections. We'll use robot "microswimmers" that travel around the bloodstream and identify the point of attack. It'll be like the 1960s film Fantastic Voyage, except we won't miniaturize any submarines or humans; the device will be unmanned and controlled from the outside.
