Medical Nanorobotics: The Long-Term Goal for Nanomedicine
Nanotechnology involves the engineering of molecularly precise structures and, ultimately, molecular machines. BCC Research [1] estimated the global market for nanotools and nanodevices was $1.5 billion in 2006 and projected to reach $8.6 billion by 2011, rapidly gaining on the slower-growing nanomaterials market, which is estimated at $9.0 billion (2006) and $16.6 billion (2011). As distinct f...
متن کاملHardware Architecture for Nanorobot Application in Cancer Therapy
This paper presents an innovative hardware architecture for medical nanorobots, using nanobioelectronics, clinical data, and wireless technologies, as embedded integrated system devices for molecular machine data transmission and control upload, and show how to use it in cancer therapy. The therapeutic application of nanorobots for cancer may be the natural result from some ongoing developments...
متن کاملComputational Tasks in Medical Nanorobotics
Nanomedicine is the application of nanotechnology to medicine: the preservation and improvement of human health, using molecular tools and molecular knowledge of the human body. Medical nanorobotics is the most powerful form of future nanomedicine technology. Nanorobots may be constructed of diamondoid nanometer-scale parts and mechanical subsystems including onboard sensors, motors, manipulato...
متن کاملMedical nanorobotics: Biotechnology or nanoengeneering?
Nanomedicine: Does this term more than pseudo-scientific “pink of fashio”, at least potentially? From a "classical" point of view, the goal of nanomedicine is the creation of nanoscale autonomous technical devices (nanorobots), programmed to perform diagnostic and/or therapeutic manipulation in a living organism: the destruction of malignant cells, destruction of atherosclerotic plaques, and so...
متن کاملTrends in nanoscience and nanomedicine
Nanoscience and Nanomedicine are close interrelated and demonstration of this interrelation is the main purpose of this new journal. Nanomedicine is the medical application of nanotechnology/nanoscience. It is concerns to the use of precisely engineered materials at nanoscale length to develop novel therapeutic and diagnostic modalities. Nanomedicine ranges from the medical applications of nano...
