Medicine is one of the most exciting application areas for nanorobots. It may become possible to inject a fleet of nanorobots to perform vital work inside a human body without resorting to surgery. Imagine toothpaste full of nanorobots equipped to locate and destroy plaque, or nanorobots built to clean a diseased blood vessel, as shown in this image. |
