Nanobots

Nanomachines are largely in the research-and-development phase, but some primitive molecular machines have been tested. An example is a sensor having a switch approximately 1.5 nanometers across, capable of counting specific molecules in a chemical sample. The first useful applications of nanomachines, if such are ever built, might be in medical technology, where they might be used to identify cancer cells and destroy them. Another potential application is the detection of toxic chemicals, and the measurement of their concentrations, in the environment. Recently, Rice University has demonstrated a single-molecule car which is developed by a chemical process and includes buckyballs for wheels. It is actuated by controlling the environmental temperature and by positioning a scanning tunneling microscope tip.

Major
Wrote his term papers on nanobots. They are sub nucleur size robots
That
Fix things in a livng system.I asked him if he was pulling my leg when he wrote the paper; it was a very scholarly paper, for a freshman English class.




They are endogneous particles/chemicals/hormones?? running around in our
bodies?? It sounds kind of like the job the white blood cells do for
infections.

I can feel little electric shocks at a cellular level all over today;

first I thought it was individual cells itching, but it is electricity.

"Nanorobotics is the technology of creating machines or robots at or close to the microscopic scale of a nanometre (10-9 metres). More specifically, nanorobotics refers to the still largely hypothetical nanotechnology engineering discipline of designing and building nanorobots. Nanorobots (nanobots, nanoids, nanites or nanonites) would be typically devices ranging in size from 0.1-10 micrometers and constructed of nanoscale or molecular components. As no artificial non-biological nanorobots have yet been created, they remain a hypothetical concept."
