Firstly, if sensors are tiny and advanced enough, a whole array of such chains can be used in surgery, especially cancer surgery. The array could connect to usb port so that it is controlled with a laptop semi-automatically. Energy and data flows along wires during the surgery.
Secondly, if there is also a way to transmit energy wirelessly or a way to extract / generate electric power from blood's chemical energy, every actuator chain could separate from the controller device after receiving it's configuration file in binary form and continue to inside body autonomously. After that, some directions and/or navigation signals can be transmitted with magnetic field pulses or ultrasound. The insertion may be done in local anesthetic or maybe the device(s) can be injected to a vein upstream from the tumor or from something else that needs treatment.
It would be a tiny device that has even tinier integrated circuit in it, or is itself a tiny integrated circuit that is something other than a chip ( when looking at the definition of IC very carefully ).
It might use a drilling mechanism similar to this to first gain access to the tumor and then shred it:

(time code link)
It would probably be a MEMS device:

Range of possible sizes and lengths is large. Many very different sizes for different uses.
I am making a CdS/CdTe heterojunction photovoltaic, so CdS first and then CdTe. Has it been done before? If yes, can I get some references?
I have only seen papers using it for deposition of TiO2 and we aren't doing that. All the papers just ised CBD and only before that spin coating for TiO2. Also what binders to be used for it? Is PVA recommendable for it?
I'm not talking about bio-ink, where the cells are already there. Nor am I talking about growing an organ, then putting into someone, but actually printing living cells, like what was done in the movie The Fifth Element, Where they printed the whole rest of a person from a bone and hand in gauntlet. There's no way those cells were grown, it happened way too fast
Printing cells someone problematic, it would be like printing a water balloon, with a lot of things in it, like genes, oraganelles, ribosomes/proteins/enzymes, is that even possible? And if so how would it be done?
Hi,
I work for a company that makes nano emulsion cannabinoids.
I am looking for people who are wanting to add nano emulsions to their products. Does anyone know people that are interested in doing so?
What is the latest research about nanomachines being used in the human brain?
Hello my name is Jason Hein recently I've had something strange happened to me that no one has been able to explain. As I did some of my own investigation into nanotechnology I realize that these things are real and they do exist I don't know if they're in every human in the world but I know that they're in me right now I'm trying to look for any whistleblowers or anyone that can help me get to the bottom of what I experienced. I have two witnesses that are willing to testify if need be, though at this point I'm not willing to risk their lives or their identity. I hope the right person can give me some Direction in this matter feel free to comment post reshare like whatever it takes to get my story out!
Are there any literature or literature review on the typical C/O ratio or the degree of oxidation of the graphene oxide produced experimentally? Thanks
Just wandering are they putting a lot of money into Nanotechnology?
So I need to come up with a topic to give a 12 minute presentation on for my materials science class. It can be anything about material science or nanotech and I want to do something super interesting, any ideas?
Hello 😊 ,
My name is Mahran Abid, a final year master’s student in the DEDI program at the Higher Institute of Computer Science and Multimedia in Sfax. As part of my final year project, I am developing a Virtual Reality (VR) training application specifically tailored for nanotechnology.

Hi all! I have a question related to nanotechnology, specifically carbon nanotubes (CNTs).
I've been reading some patents and papers concerning the design of lightweight instrumentation for quantifying concentration of biological molecules. I have often found that the authors will describe a sensor array made of functionalized carbon nanotubes, configured in a particular way, so as to target X molecule.
Now, some these papers can be dated from the early 2000s, and others from last year. I understand that CNTs aren't often used outside of research, but I also see they're widely available to buy in different forms (single, multiwalled). So to my questions, what is the state?
How do you go from "bottle of CNTs" to "sensor array with interface to more standardised electronics"? Can you buy "preconfigured CNT molecule sensors"?
Thanks!
I would like to enter a science competition and make a project based on biochemistry, mainly focusing on nanotechnology's effects in medicine and improving upon them. I have no idea on where to start, can someone help me?
