A Masey University PhD student is working on a robotic capsule, which could take samples of microogranisms, or digestive fluids, from the full length of the gut.
Muhammad Rehan represented New Zealand at the Falling Walls Lab finale over the weekend - a competition where people pitch ideas about how they might fix global challenges. He talks to Jesse about the potential of his capsule.
