I've heard nearly any implant you put inside body has negative impact and this is also true for titanium implants which is seemingly inert and harmless metal.

I've heard nearly any implant you put inside body has negative impact and this is also true for titanium implants which is seemingly inert and harmless metal.
How many people their body with some industrial chip, I'll never use anything like this unless my life depends on it.
- wgrover 6y agoThis isn't a chip for implanting inside the body; this is a microfluidic chip that replicates some body systems in the laboratory.
- monkeydust 6y agoOK why the need for a physical chip, why not replicate in software?
- anamexis 6y agoBecause we can't effectively model the behavior of human tissue in software.
- hprotagonist 6y agoby a long shot, too.
- eximius 6y agoWe can't even effectively model basic chemistry. We can't a priori tell you what color a chemical will be, much less many of its other properties.
- fao_ 6y agoLook at how much energy and computer cycles they have to put into just for folding a single protein and then realise that scaling it up at our current level is basically impossible: https://foldingathome.org/ https://foldingathome.org/
- ahupp 6y agoIt's not a chip like a CPU. It's chemistry and biology.
- vikramkr 6y agoThese are being made as research tools, not as implants
