Nanotechnology

How Small Can We Go by Alice Park is a very interesting article. The niche field of nanoengineering is working on making sure that the next big thing will be able to fit in some pretty tight spots (pg 90). There is mini robot that is able to neutralize attacks by detecting toxins before it is even reached into the human body. These little minature robots would be able to do so much more as well. Before reading this article I knew that their was robots all of shapes and sizes that can do multiple things with just the most advanced touches, but little did I know that there was micro-robots that could go into a human body and do such amazing things that these self propelled robots are able to do. Most do not think that there is such a robot that is able to do these things, but now that Alice Park has clearly stated that their is such a robot in her article it is a bit convincing to see that these micro robots are no secret and they do exist and their is more to them than meets the human eye. One thing in the article that is interesting is that these self propelled robots are inside a human body throughout surgeries and they are there to deliver drugs and so forth. That is amazing that their is actually robots inside a human body. These robots can also be used for so many different things other than human bodies, the possibilities are unreal. Sending these robots to the center of the earth could even be a possibility, because they are able to detect and remove toxins from a human body, so surely they can detect toxins anywhere else as well. Nanotechnology in the future can do so much, it could help humans really discover what is out there in the world. Maybe there is still species right here on Earth that human's still do not know about, perhaps they are so small the human can not see with the naked eye. These micro robots can help not only human's throughout healthcare and so forth, but they can help human's explore. Hopefully, micro robots do become a really big thing and that they really help the human population.
