Biomedical applications of bionic untethered micro-nano robots / 生物医学工程学杂志

Bionic untethered micro-nano robots, due to their advantages of small size, low weight, large thrust-to-weight ratio, strong wireless mobility, high flexibility and high sensitivity, have very important application values in the fields of biomedicine, such as disease diagnosis, minimally invasive surgery, targeted therapy, etc. This review article systematically introduced the manufacturing methods and motion control, and discussed the biomedical applications of bionic untethered micro-nano robots. Finally, the article discussed the possible challenges for bionic untethered micro-nano robots in the future. In summary, this review described bionic untethered micro-nano robots and their potential applications in biomedical fields.

Nanotechnology Based Solutions for Periodontal Diseases

Small things have a big impact and so does the field of nanotechnology, because greatness is never determined by its size. Almost every dimension of survival; from security to medicine nowadays is dominated by nanotechnology. The nano-world is blooming rapidly in recent years and like other medical fields it has till date transmuted the sphere of dentistry in a huge way. Periodontitis refers tothe inflammation of the gums and supporting tissues of the tooth. With its progress in various fields, nanotechnology has also evolved as a promising mode of treatment of periodontitis. Nanotechnological methods involve utilization of nano-materials, nano-biotechnology and nano-robots for the treatment and aftercare of periodontal health. This paper focuses on the possible applications of nanotechnology towards periodontics.

Nanotechnology- future prospect in recent medicine: a review.

Any damage at molecular or cellular level is the major culprit for disease & ill health. Nanotechnology, “the manufacturing technology of the 21st century," helps us economically build a broad range of complex molecular machines by manipulating matter on an atomic and molecular scale. Nanotech may be able to create many new materials and devices with at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometres with a vast range of applications, such as in medicine, electronics, biomaterials and energy production. Lots of new possibilities come into account in relation to use of nanotechnology in medicines. Nanotechnology in medicine involves applications of nanoparticles, also involves nano-robots to make repairs at the cellular levels. On the other hand, nanotechnology raises many of the same issues as any new technology, including concerns about the toxicity and environmental impact of nanomaterials.
