China has successfully completed its first clinical trial for brain implant technology, joining the U.S. as the only countries to achieve this milestone. The breakthrough allows brain signals to control external devices, marking a big step in neurotechnology.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about scientific bragging rights—brain implants could revolutionize medicine, helping paralyzed patients or those with neurological disorders. But it also means the U.S. and China are now in a direct race to lead this cutting-edge field, which could shape everything from healthcare to defense tech. The stakes? High. The implications? Huge.
