Description
Summary:Imagine, a tiny robot the size of a human cell injected by the millions into your bloodstream to embark on a search-and-destroy mission to locate cancer cells and kill them leaving your healthy cells intact, eradicating the nasty side-effects of chemo and radiotherapy. Now imagine windows that clean themselves, digital storage cards almost invisible to the naked eye and fabrics that can never wrinkle or stain. Sounds like fiction, these aren't the predictions of some wild-eyed mad professors but the echoed conclusions of a group of like-minded, well respected scientists working on the new emerging field of nanotechnology.
