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...

Medical 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...
