The future of robotics and nanotechnology in medicine

Robotics and nanotechnology in medicine are the new buzzwords which are taking people with surprise. People cannot really imagine that surgery on the human body can be conducted with the help of robots Or for that matter machines that are so small that they can enter the bloodstream without harming the body to repair it.
Nanotechnology and robotics are very much here and changing the way people are being treated now. Doctors have started using robotic arms and other aids to conduct precision surgery. Nowadays complex surgeries like transplants and ophthalmic procedures are now being done with help of robots. Imagine conducting surgical procedures at the micro level the level which a surgeon cannot perform with his bare hands or normal vision. Surgeries like joining the nerve endings and replacing limbs etc. All of this was not possible a few decades back however with the growth of nanotechnology and robotics such kind of procedures are now possible.
The application of nanotechnology and robotics in medicine has just started to unfold. The possibilities for improvement in the quality of life of people are immense. It’s a branch of science which uses a combination of robotics and nanotechnology to treat the patients. At present constant research and development is being conducted on the following streams of medicinal nanotechnology and robotics:
·         Nano robotics microbivores
·         Surgical Nano robotics
·         Nano Generators
·         Nano Dentistry
·         Inducing Anaesthesia
·         Tooth Repair, Tooth Repositioning, and Tooth Denaturalization
·         Dentin Hypersensitivity and Dental Durability and Cosmetics
·         Probing of DNA structure, Tumour detection, and Detection of Protein
·         Separation and Purification of biological molecules and cells
·         Nano-Imaging for diagnosis, therapy, and delivery in preclinical and clinical fields


With the growth in artificial intelligence very soon we would be witnessing the emergence of systems which can help us in research and development in the field of genetics robotics artificial intelligence and nanotechnology. These systems can help monitor the health of the general population in real time and arm the healthcare facilities with real-time data on the conditions that might crop up in the near future and prepare to handle the contingencies well in advance.
Genomics, Nanotechnology, and Robotics are a very real scientific phenomenon now. The synergy of these three disciplines that will soon give rise to medicines and tools that will almost act like a magic. Imagine taking a pill for conducting a heart bypass. Or getting your vital organ replaced within a few hours. The best contribution of these sciences would be in treating genetic disorders and detecting them well in advance.

What are the differences between smart materials, composite materials and nano materials?

Image
Smart materials are at least dual function, composites are materials composed of dissimilar phases or components (sometimes they’re called hybrid materials now), and Nano materials have been engineered on the Nano-scale Smart materials have multiple functions, which generally include sensor/actuator ability in addition to having form, or being able to support at least some structural weight. The classic example is Nitinol, which is a Nikcle-Titanium allow. After mechanical deformation (for example, bending), it can be heated up and will return to the pre-deformed structural shape. Lead-Zirconate-Titanate (PZT) is a ceramic, which responds to mechanical deformation by generating an electrical potential. In the reverse, an applied electrical potential leads to a geometric expansion of the material (actuator function). Composites are materials that are combinations of at least two different materials, which allow the engineering of desired properties (like tailoring mechanic...

What are some examples of smart materials?

Image
Smart material are those that change in response to changing conditions in their surrounding or in the application of other directed influences such as passing an electric charge through them. Modern products increasingly use them, shirts that change colour with changes in temperature. Smart materials are the materials that have one or more properties that can be significantly changed in a controlled style such as stress, temperature, moisture, pH, electric or magnetic fields. There are many types of smart material some of which are already common. Some examples are as following: Types of smart material Some types of smart materials include: Piezoelectric   - On applying a mechanical stress to these materials it generates an electric current. Piezoelectric microphones transform changes in pressure caused by sound waves into an electrical signal. Shape memory   - After deformation of these materials they remember their original shape and return back to i...

How nanotechnology benefit the agriculture and allied sector?

Nanotechnology in agriculture  is the application of extremely small tools such as sensors, which can be used for agricultural development. Nanotechnology is a new revolution in industries and has the potential to bring about drastic changes in the agricultural industry . Development of new nanotech-based tools and equipment help increase efficiency and overcome challenges faced by the agricultural industry. Nanotech-based tools significantly benefit the agricultural sector; they aid in early detection of diseases, improve plant’s ability to absorb nutrients, and promote molecular treatment of diseases. Implementation of nanotechnology in the form of small sensors and monitoring devices have created positive impact on the future uses of precision farming methodologies. Nanoscale carriers can be utilized for the efficient delivery of fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators. Its mechanism helps prevent degradation of plants, the...
