dEfINTiON Of NAnoBoTSA nanobot is a nanotechnological robot nanomachine, also called a nanite, which is a mechanical or electromechanicaldevice whose dimensions are measured in nanometres (millionths of a millimeter, or units of 10-9 meter).

Nanomachines are largely in the research-and-development phase, but some primitive devices have been tested. An

example is a sensor having a switch approximately 1.5 nanometers across, capable of counting specific molecules in achemical sample. The first useful applications of nanomachines will likely be in medical technology, where they could beused to identify pathogens and toxins from samples of body fluid and destroy them. Another potential application is thedetection of toxic chemicals, and the measurement of their concentrations, in the environment.

Development of such machines is characterized under the field of nanorobotics.

Since nanorobots would be microscopic in size, it may be necessary for very large numbers of them to work together toperform macroscopic tasks. These nanorobot swarms, both those which are incapable of replication (as in utility fog) andthose which are capable of unconstrained replication in the natural environment (as in grey goo and its less common

variants) are found in many science fiction stories, such as the nanoprobes in Star Trek. The word "nanobot" (also"nanite") is often used to indicate this fictional context and is an informal or even pejorative term to refer to theengineering concept of nanorobots. The word nanorobot is the correct technical term in the nonfictional context ofserious engineering studies [1].

The current view is that nanorobots capable of replication outside of a restricted factory environment do not form anecessary part of a productive nanotechnology, that the process of self-replication can be made inherently safe, andfree-foraging replicators are in fact absent from current plans for developing and using molecular manufacturing.

Medical nanotechnology is often expected to utilize nanorobots injected into the patient to perform their treatment on a

cellular level. Such nanorobots intended for use in medicine also might not replicate [2], as this would needlesslyincrease device complexity, reduce reliability, and interfere with the medical mission. Instead, medical nanorobots maybe manufactured in carefully controlled nanofactories in which nanoscale machines are solidly integrated into a desktop-scale machine that builds macroscopic products. 1

State of The Science

1) Current research

3) Nanobot ´Pipelineµ

2) Applications of new Developments



Interdigitated Nanoelectrodes for

Nanoparticle Detection

Electrodes can be

fabricated with

electron beamlithography to have

precise gaped and

shaped electrodes.

Connection of these

electrodes couldindicate the presence

of a specific

compound.



Optical Antennas for Nano-photonic

Applications

EBL is used to create

metallic nanostructures

that and detect specific

wavelengths of light via

the photoelectric

effects..

Fractals enhance the antenna·s effect by

maximizing Frensel zones



Such ´antennasµ can detectlight, and could be used by

nanobots to seek cells or

viruses tagged with quantum

dots. They could also be used

to communicate with othernanobots, or a controller

external to the body.



CMOL FPGA : A reconfigurable

architecture for hybrid digital circuitswith two-terminal nanodevices

Nano-Circuits were made using conduction and

semiconducting nanotubes. Transistors and latching

switches were developed, and will be instrumental in the

control and function of nano-bots.



A nano-circuit this size, utilizing nanotube transistors

could be more powerful than any computer

imaginable with today·s technology. Nanotransitors

might allow logic beyond base 2. (If you squint hard

enough you can see the nanobots)



Electron Beam Nanolithograpgy

Beams of electrons can etch a

substrate by ionizing atoms into

a reactive ions which can be

reacted away, leaving a pattern.

This technique can create

objects on the nano-scale, as

opposed to conventionalphotolithography which has a

threshold of 200 nanometers.



Thermoelectric power and electrical

conductance of DNA based molecularjunctions.

Not only could such nano-devices

create sensors that detect specificgenes and DNA sequences, DNA

could be employed as a data

storage device for nanobos, as a

´brainµ, and as a powersourceUnfortunately, you need a PhD. in

Coolness to understand how.



Nanomotor Developed!

(At my home Lab, LBL!)



Gold stators are charged with alternatingcurrent, causing rotation of a gold paddle on a

double-walled nanotube bearing. (the interior

layer is fixed)



So, how long before they little ones

overrun us?!!?

Although the main components required

for nanobots have been developed, it will

be at least 20 years before nanobots canbe made, and be useful. Even then, use

of nanobots will be limited to treating

rich people, killing Iraqis, making oil and

assassinating enemies of the CIA. Use of

this technology for the common good willtake somewhat longer. Expect many

Nobel Laureates in this field.



Applications of Nanobots

Repair and Replicate themselves

Nano-Assasins (abulity todeconstructmatter on Molecular level) Attack toxinsand foreign Invaders

The Insta-sober Pill

Nanobots for recycling could wastealmost nothing

PREDICTIONS!!!!!!!

IN THE FUTURE«.



Nanobots will create a new civilization

with advanced technology and develop

their own even smaller nanobots.



Every fluid in your body: blood, saliva, bile,

even semen, will be replaced by nanobots.



Nanobots will drive the regular-sized

robot market in to the ground until they

are obsolete. After this occurs, nanobots

will simply be referred to as ´botsµ.



A nanobot virus will be created that will cause people to do

´the robotµ without stopping until they die a horrible deaths.



Scientists will develop a nano-bomb«

It will not be very effective.



´That·s macro!µ will become a popular

catch phrase, used excessively by

teenagers around the world.

Disclaimer: No one in this group has ever watched the O.C.
