MIT-Wissenschaftler stellen Pillen mit biologisch abbaubaren Hochfrequenzantennen her

Researchers have developed new pills that can communicate from the stomach. Developed by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the pill can report when it has been swallowed.

Set to be incorporated into existing pill capsules, the system contains a biodegradable radio frequency antenna.

After it sends out the signal that the pill has been consumed, most components break down in the stomach while a tiny RF chip passes out of the body through the digestive tract.
