Blog Post 8 (Applications)

1.Nano particles that deliver chemo therapy drugs directly to the cancer cells that are under development.-http://www.understandingnano.com/medicine.html

2. Nano tubes that assemble themselves using the same chemistry as DNA could be ideal for creating better artificial joints and other body implants.-http://www.azonano.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=758

3. Cell repair- Nanorobots could be programmed to repair specific diseased cell, similar way to antibodies in our natural healing process.-http://www.understandingnano.com/medicine.html

4. Nanotherapeutics- Nano particles made for improving the performance of drug delivery by oral or nasal methods.-http://www.understandingnano.com/medicine.html

5. Nanosphere- Nanospheres are the developing molecular testing systems that utilize nanparticle probes, assays, and instruments. They have applications in healthcare, specifically DNA, RNA, and protein protection.- http://www.azonano.com/search.aspx?q=Disease+detection

6. Nano coating on glasses- A new coating ensures a perfectly non-reflecting view on displays and through eyeglasses.- http://www.azonano.com/news.aspx?newsID=17312

7. Medical Imaging- The ability to detect cancerous growths in the body before the cells multiply and spread is critical to effective intervention. This is achieved through both advance nano bots put into a persons body and the other nano particles used in the process in the analysis.-http://www.azonano.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=1661

8.Cleaning out water- Nanotechnology will provide part of the solution for this challenge through inexpensive water purification, detection of the molecular level of contaminants, and greatly improve filtration systems. http://www.foresight.org/challenges/water.html

9.Magnetic Quantum Dots- Expected to have a higer density and lower power consumption because they measure the spin of electronics to determine a 1 or 0, rather than measuring groups of electronics. -http://www.understandingnano.com/nanotechnology-electronics.html

10.Medical Imaging for Diagnosis- The us of quantum dots or synthetic chromophores to selected molecules for intracellular imaging-http://www.nanocompositech.com/nanotechnology/nanotechnology-applications.htm
