Scientists create tiny robots that can safely treat brain aneurysms
These nanorobots could eliminate the need for conventional brain surgery
Food dye used in snack chips can make skin temporarily transparent
WTF?! Food dye can be found in a wide range of products on grocery stores' shelves, but scientists have recently put it to a novel use: making a mouse's skin temporarily transparent. Once the technique is refined to work on the thicker human epidermis, there are all sorts of applications where it can be used, from tattoo removal to early detection of skin cancer.

Researchers put mushrooms in control of tiny vehicles for groundbreaking study
Shroom zoom
WTF?! It's not enough that we have to worry about advanced AIs going rogue and destroying us all, but will a dystopian future also involve armies of robo-suited sentient mushrooms? Probably not, but researchers have managed to put king oyster mushrooms in control of a couple of tiny vehicles.
Six rogue planets spotted by James Webb Telescope in nearby nebula
Planetary Delights: A rogue planet is an interstellar body with planetary mass that is not gravitationally bound to any "parent" star or star-like object. The exact process by which rogue planets form is still under debate, but recent observations made with the James Webb Space Telescope may help dispel some of the mysteries surrounding these elusive galactic wanderers.

Why it matters: All that packaging we've treated as disposable may finally be reborn. Researchers have cracked the code for turning plastic back into the building blocks to make new plastics. It could revolutionize recycling, which studies have shown is broken.
Injectable pacemaker lets your phone correct heart arrhythmia for up to 5 days
The bleeding edge? Swedish scientists may have found a radical nanotech solution to keep the heart beating when it runs into minor problems when healthcare isn't accessible. A newly developed injectable "heart stimulator" can temporarily correct arrhythmia by using your smartphone as a power source.
