Nanobots will help bridge the technological gaps between physics, chemistry and biology on the nano-scale. This will lead to many innovative approaches which will result in new methods and products for both, technological and medical-pharmaceutical applications. In this report the following questions are addressed: How a nanobot works and how nanobots can contribute to medical technology. Advan...

The ‘nanotechnology’ concept first captured the world’s attention when the Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman advocated the possibility of widespread nanotechnology research by delivering his famous speech, “There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom” just half a century ago. The emerging nanotechnology field comprises one of the fastestgrowing research and development (R&D) areas in the world (Natio...

We developed a carbon nanotube (CNT)-based biosensor system-on-a-chip (SoC) for the detection of a neurotransmitter. Here, 64 CNT-based sensors were integrated with silicon-based signal processing circuits in a single chip, which was made possible by combining several technological breakthroughs such as efficient signal processing, uniform CNT networks, and biocompatible functionalization of CN...

The primary goal of economic activity is the creation of value, and business models describe how to create and capture such value. An informed and systematic variation and extension of fundamental business aspects such as value proposition, user experience and partnering not only helps to focus new business, attract investors, and bring new products to the market, but also feeds back on the ori...

In current years, DNA barcoding has come to be an effective tool in molecular identification of species because it is a simple, quick and specific method. Advances the branch biology over last few decades reshaped systematic taxonomy. The biological effects worldwide climate led increase need identify emerging organisms order conserve different as increasingly their habitats continue destroyed....

AIM Review of recent advances and vision for future developments in clinical practice of Radiation Oncology. BACKGROUND There have been substantial research and technological developments in Radiation Oncology over the past 40 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS The relevant literature was reviewed and the authors offer their perspective on future opportunities for advancement in Radiation Oncolog...

The amount of genetic and genomic information obtainable from the human fetus during pregnancy is accelerating at an unprecedented rate. Two themes have dominated recent technological advances in prenatal diagnosis: interrogation of the fetal genome in increasingly high resolution and the development of non-invasive methods of fetal testing using cell-free DNA in maternal plasma. These two area...

The Japanese economy is in the midst of a fundamental change driven by two economic forces: aging population and rapid progress in information and communication technology. Population aging has attracted much discussion, mostly with respect to their impacts on the macroeconomic future of the Japanese economy in such issues as sustainable pension and health care systems and the optimal policy mi...
