This millimetre-size robot from @ethz.ch can be steered around the body in real time using magnetic fields.
Once it arrives at a blockage or tumour, it delivers its cargo of drug and dissolves. So far only in pigs and sheep; human trials are next.

But it's far from clear how much of an impact such prompts have.

Here's a little ray of sunshine for you today (kind of). A coronal mass ejection taken by @esa.int's SOHO spacecraft back in 2012. Happy Valentine's Day everyone! 🧪🔭
