MEDICINE8
FUTURE TREATMENTS
Nanodevices can make gene sequencing more efficient. It will revolutionize the specificity of diagnostics and therapeutics,
No operations, No more pills and chemotherapies,
Just one quick injection,
The nano sized machine communicate and target millions of different foreign bodies/ matters that may have developed in the body,
It will search and destroy foreign objects, and rebuild the bodies vital cells.

Nanotechnology has been a boon for the medical field by delivering drugs to specific cells using nanoparticles. The overall drug consumption and side-effects can be lowered significantly by depositing the active agent in the morbid region only and in no higher dose than needed. This highly selective approach reduces costs and human suffering.
FUTURE CANCER TREATMENTS
Nano molecules will travel and kill the cancer
Cancer cells can be killed by Magforce nonotheroperies, Nano xray therapies eliminatingpainful side effects of chemotherapy;loosinghair, hearing, etc..
Destroying tumor without killing healthy cells
No addition of toxics to body

DESTROYING TUMOR WITHOUTKILLING HEALTHY CELLS
12
FUTURE TREATMENTS CONT…13
New formulations and routes for drug delivery, optimal drug usage. (High consumption, lower side effects, cost and suffering)
‘Gene gun’ that uses nanoparticles to deliver genetic material to target cells
Tissue engineering: More durable, artificial tissues and organs Bones can be regrown on carbon nanotube
scaffolds
Sensors for early detection and prevention
NANO ELECTRONICS ANDCOMPUTING
14
PastShared computing thousands of people sharing a mainframe computer
PresentPersonal computing
FutureUbiquitous computing thousands of computers sharing eachand everyone of us; computers embedded in walls, chairs, clothing,light switches, cars….; characterized by the connection of things inthe world with computation.
APPLICATIONS CONT..
Cleaning- Super washing machines, Nano materialized clothes with special properties, Eg: Super hydrophobic
Security- Nano sensors, high security uniforms: Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies (ISN) at Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Energy- Advanced Solar panels (24 hours working), fossil fuel replacements with high efficient cells
Many more…

NANO MANUFACTURING16
• Carbon Nanotubes• Nanostructured Polymers• Optical fiber performs through sol-gel
processing of nanoparticles• Nanoparticles in imaging systems• Nanostructured coatings• Ceramic Nanoparticles for netshapes.
NANOTECHNOLOGY IN SPACE
Improvements in shuttle Lighter weight and smaller in size Nano sensors and Nano robots Use of laser sails Micro and Nano rovers for planetary exploitation
Benefits to Astronauts Nano suits, Nano food : No refrigeration, Protection from
bacteria and diseases, Lighter.
Cheaper space flights
Nano satellites
Will be 90% lighter, Greater Strength, Greater Safety margin due to Dimondiode fibers.
