Cyborgs Awake! Scientists reveal new method to 'grow' electronic sensors inside human tissue

Scientists reveal new method to 'grow' electronic sensors inside human tissue | Mail Online: "Cyborgs melding human and robotic technology together have finally come a step closer to reality. Researchers at MIT in Boston have revealed a new technique that can place sensors inside human tissue. To control the three-dimensional shape of engineered tissue, researchers grow cells on tiny, sponge-like scaffolds."

Cyborgs such as Robocop have long been a staple of sci-fi films. Now researchers at MIT have made a big step towards making them reality.
