Google X Labs is developing a pill that could one day detect cancer and heart disease. The pill would contain 2,000 nanoparticles coated with antibodies and molecules capable of detecting other molecules, and travel through the patient’s bloodstream in search of malignant cells. The findings would be transmitted to a sensor on a wearable device.
