The Rundown: EPFL researchers just developed a system enabling communication between nanoscale transmitters using the bloodstream — which could enable swarms of smart implants without surgery.
The details:
Communicating with nanobot tech has been a challenge, with their small size evading traditional techniques that work for larger implants.
The new ‘biomolecular communication’ method encodes data in blood molecules, mimicking biological signals to form in-body networks.
The proof-of-concept study outperformed state-of-the-art tech, showing promise for future smart drug delivery.
The relevance: The sci-fi dream is having nanotech that can transport through the body — finding and correcting issues like cancerous cells or illness. With this new breakthrough, it sounds like medical nanobots may be closer than we imagined.

The Rundown: Google just introduced new tools helping discussion forums and social platforms better surface their content in search results — continuing the company’s push to showcase more first-hand perspectives.
The details:
The tools aim to address the rise of SEO-optimized junk crowding out authentic opinions and conversations.
New markups let sites signal to Google how user-generated content is structured for accurate indexing.
The move is part of Google's response as complaints grow about search losing usefulness amid AI content explosions.
Why it matters: The internet has an AI-generated spam problem — and it will only get worse. Google Search is going to need a serious overhaul to fight to elevate quality content against the flood of generated junk in the new AI-era.
