What Does Nanotechnology Mean?

Nanotechnology is the engineering offunctional

systems at the molecular scale.

It is the study of manipulating matter on

anatomicandmolecularscale.

NANOROBOTS

A nanorobot is a tiny machine designed to perform aspecific task or tasks repeatedly and with precision atnanoscale dimensions, that is, dimensions of afew nanometers (nm) or less, where 1 nm = 10-9 meter

They are nanodevices that will be used for thepurpose of maintaining and protecting the humanbody against pathogens.

Molecular Nanotechnology (MNT)

The umbrella science of nanomedicine

MNT describesengineered nanosystems

(nanoscale machines)operating on themolecular scale.

MNT is especiallyassociated with

themolecular assembler,a machine that canproduce a desiredstructure.

MNT IS based on theability to build structuresto complex, atomicspecifications by meansofmechanosynthesis.

The powering of the nanorobots can be done bymetabolizing local glucose and oxygen for energy. Ina clinical environment, another option would beexternally supplied acoustic energy.

Other sources of energy within the body can also beused to supply the necessary energy for the devices.

They will have simple onboard computers capable ofperforming around 1000 or fewer computations persecond. This is because their computing needs aresimple.

Communication with the device can be achievedby broadcast-type acoustic signaling

Devices working in

the bloodstream couldnibble away atarterioscleroticdeposits, widening theaffected blood vessels.

Cell herding devicescould restore arterywalls and artery liningsto health, by ensuringthat the right cells andsupporting structuresare in the right places. This would preventmost heart attacks.

All of these current developments in technology directs humansa step closer to nanorobots and simple, operating nanorobots isthe near future. Nanorobots can theoretically destroy allcommon diseases of the 2lst century thereby ending much of thepain and suffering. It can also have an alternative, practical usessuch as improved mouthwash and cosmetic creams that can

expand the commercial market in biomedical engineering.People can envision a future where people can self-diagnosetheir own ailments with the help of nanorobot monitors in theirbloodstream. Simple everyday illnesses can be cured without

ever visiting the physician.
