What can nanobots be used for?

Nano-robots can play a role in combination with military and medical fields.

1, military field

Military nano-robot, commonly known as "ant soldier", is an amazing destructive robot driven by solar waves, smaller than ants. They can sneak into the enemy's key military departments (headquarters, arsenals, Fuehrer's office and secret bases, etc.). ) conduct reconnaissance activities in various ways and even directly attack the target.

For example, using special explosives to detonate targets, destroying enemy electronic equipment and computer networks (for example, shorting them), releasing various chemicals (for example, making metals brittle, solidifying oil, or paralyzing enemy personnel), and even burying miniature mines to act as blasters.

This nano-robot can also act as a latent spy. Usually very peaceful and silent. Once a war breaks out, an attack can be induced by a micro remote control device, and the enemy's combat system can be quickly destroyed.

2. Medical field

(1) High-sensitivity and accurate detection technology of biological nanostructures and characteristics, such as nano-sensor system for early diagnosis of diseases.

(2) Nanotherapeutic drugs and new drug development.

(3) Fine treatment surgery combined with minimally invasive medical treatment, such as intravascular nano-robot surgery.

Historical evolution:

1. Nanotechnology was inspired by a speech entitled "There is still a lot of room at the bottom" given by the late physicist richard feynman 1959.

2. 198 1 year, scientists invented the scanning tunneling microscope, an important tool for studying nanotechnology, which revealed a visible atomic and molecular world for us and played a positive role in promoting the development of nanotechnology.

3. 199 1 year, carbon nanotubes were discovered by humans. Their mass is one sixth of that of steel with the same volume, but their strength is 10 times that of steel, which has become the focus of nanotechnology research. Professor smalley, winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, believes that carbon nanotubes will be the first choice for the best fibers in the future, and will also be widely used in ultramicro wires, ultramicro switches and nanoelectronic circuits.

4.200 1, some countries have formulated relevant strategies or plans and invested huge sums of money to seize the strategic highland of nanotechnology. Japan has set up a research center for nanomaterials, and has included nanotechnology in the research and development focus of the new five-year science and technology basic plan.

5.20 10 In May, scientists from Columbia University successfully developed a nano-spider robot composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecules. This kind of robot can walk, move, turn and stop freely following the running track of DNA, and they can walk freely on the surface of two-dimensional objects. This nano-spider robot is only 4 nanometers long, less than 1% of the diameter of human hair.
