Another piece on our ongoing topic of nanotechnology, this time about medicine and its future. Imagine being able to head to your doctors office and receive and inject of nano-machines that are able to programmed to repair an unthinkable amount of ailments. Cancer, AIDS, paralysis and even the common cold would be a thing of the past. This microscope cell-like robot would be able to navigate our blood stream and destroy any invading cells, or repair any damaged organ. This is what we have to look forward to within the future of medicine. Below is a very outdated video that still, to this day, shows a great example of what we could achieve with this technology.
This is a great resource for a lot of nanomedicine articles and research.

I think i perfer the idea of tiny robots in my blood rather than crazy chemicals but even that sounds wierd. thsi is really innovative. I just fear the little nano bots would run amuck in my blood stream... what do we do then>?
ReplyDeleteAgreed on the tiny robots! I like this technology a lot and think it is really on to something that could change the world.
