English 101
Nanotechnology- is not about how to be a nanny. It is a new medical break through.
I found all of the information on various websites. So enjoy.
I am defining Nanomedicine because is such a new technology that very few people have ever heard of it. It is a technology that could revolutionize medicine to new levels.
Nanomedicine – The definition of nanotechnology (the engineering of tiny machines) to the prevention and treatment of disease in the human body. This technology is still in its beginning stages; but, it has the potential to change medical science dramatically in the 21st century.
Nanomedical devices of the most basic kind will be used to diagnose illnesses. There are already chemical tests that are already used for this purpose but the nanomachines may be used to monitor the internal chemistry of the body. The mobile type nanorobots, will be equipped with tiny wireless transmitters, that will circulate in the blood and lymph systems. They will send out warnings when chemical imbalances are detected or become worse. There may be fixed nanomachines that can be planted in the nervous system to monitor pulse, brain wave activity, and other functions.
It has even been thought that they will implant devices to automatically give drugs or hormones to people automatically to people with chronic imbalances or deficiency states. They have even thought to use the nanorobots as miniature surgeons having them repair damaged cells, or get inside cells and replace or assist damaged intracellular structures. As far fetched as it may seem they wonder if they can get these nanomachines to replicate themselves or even correct genetic deficiencies by alternating DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecules.
The most advanced nanomedicine involves the use of nanorobots as miniature surgeons. Such machines might repair damaged cells, or get inside cells and replace or assist damaged intracellular structures. At the extreme, nanomachines might replicate themselves, or correct genetic deficiencies by altering or replacing DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecules.
