    by robotics. Believe it or not, it is possible that a robot can go inside a human body. It may sound strange since curing of diseases is done by chemical means such as pills or drugs. But science has proven that this is the job of nanotechnology. Scientists develop robots that could enter human bodies to kill cancer. These robots are called nanobots. Abhilash, M (2010) states that "Nanobots are theoretical microscopic devices measured on the scale of nanometers". And it was supported

    recent innovations in science and is nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is the control of matter between 1-100 nanometres (nm). These particles are far too small to be seen by a naked eye; rather scientists use scanning probe microscopes to see materials at such a small scale. Nanotechnology is useful in today’s society, as it has so many different applications in the way we live and conduct our lives. In the following article, I will discuss the importance of nanotechnology in Bullet Proof vests, and why

    The field of Nanotechnology involves the manipulation of infinitesimally small matter. The National Nanotechnology Initiative defines nanotechnology as the manipulation of matter with at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometers. By employing nanotechnology and its opportunity for miniaturisation in the development of consumer products, we have placed ourselves on a paradigm changing technology path permitting considerable efficiency savings in terms of cost, energy and resources. These

    minimally invasive and devices can be extremely miniaturized. 3. THE FUTURE OF NANOTECHNOLOGY Nanotechnology has not advanced to the level of science fiction, but this has not stopped people from envisioning millions of uses for nanobots in everyday applications. The most common ideas are expressed in popular culture via movies, video games, and books. Star Trek was one of the first medias to broach the idea of nanotechnology by creating a fictional species called the Borg (Figure 1). According to the

    Nanotechnology Jeremy Rifkin wrote, in his article Biotech Century: Playing Ecological Roulette with Mother Natures Design, "Humans have been remaking the Earth for as long as we have had a history." Well the path of history humans have chosen to take also affects how we remake the Earth. In Neal Stephensons novel, The Diamond Age, one is shown how the technology of the time reshapes the political, economical and educational aspects of history. That technology is the manipulation of molecules

    The movie Transcende is great movie and makes us think a lot about the future and nanotechnology, but I would like to explain that. Nanotechnology is the study of extremely small things. For example, There’s 25,400,000 nanometers in an inch. With nanotechnology, scientist could be able to modify anything at molecular scale, which is what Will did in the movie, purifying and curing diseases, modifying the cells, bacteria and everything in the world making it better. I think that yes, we are being

    Overview of Surgery Over the years, surgery has made tremendous progress while changing human perspective; viewed as “no more science than butchery” a couple of centuries ago to now considered to be a solution for many health care problems, such as cancer, heart disease and kidney failure. Nevertheless, surgery has not been perfected to a level that provides great results every time it is performed on patients. For example, surgery done on cancer patients to remove tumors has a forty-five percent

    Introduction to what nanotechnology is: One would at first believe that it is pure imagination, when told what nanotechnology is, it is going to completely change the way that we act, think, and as a whole, change the way that our society works and interacts within itself. In other words, dictionary.com has defined nanotechnology as "A technology executed on the scale of less than 100 nanometers, thegoal of which is to control individual atoms and molecules, especially tocreate computer chips and
