Nano Technology

The University of Minnesota and Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Israel have invented a way to construct a bonding agent that would aid the nano robots to form the basic joints and build themselves. They say that the key is using molecules that frustrate each other. These polymer components create a three armed start which is similar to the ideas presented in the discussion board articles. The end resulting “worm” ranges from 12-20 nanometers in length and will be ready for drug-delivery implementation in two to five years. This article covers another great prospect of nano technology. By injecting these worms into a human body they could more specifically attack individual cancers and diseases were we don’t have the tools to do this manually.
