SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 30 (UPI) -- Google X, the experimental wing of the tech conglomerate, is trying to build a pill that can detect cancer in the disease's earliest stages.
Researchers with the company say the pill would release nanoparticles into a patient's bloodstream; the magnetized particles would tour the body seeking out cancer cells to bind to. A wearable monitor would attract and count the particles, pulling information as to what the particles had detected.
