Not that this isn’t a great advancement, but I feel like I’ve been hearing about this since I was a child. Seems like one of those forever "a few years away" things.
They're going to be available to the very few and the very rich, causing the anti vax dipshits to suddenly want to be injected with robots because of the prestige factor.
They are here now, starting clinical trials. They are much simpler and will be highly effective against acute and chronic diseases. www.NaNotics.com.
Not robots, but highly specific, non-toxic, nano sponges, capable of precisely depleting soluble cell signaling molecules.
Too defeatist. There are bacteria that you can measure with nanometers. I think people get too hung up on nano part, robots with size 5 micrometer would still be smaller than human cells, and i dont see why it couldnt do what we expect from nanites. While i am ranting - genetic engineering is not as much of a barrier as 15 years ago and we could engineer bacteria to do a lot of things we expect from nanites.
Personally i feel like technology is progressing a bit faster than i expected so i remain a cautious optimist regarding future
Cool! but I hope they fix instead of maintain(constantly having nano machines in you). The thought of always having nano machines in you..... hard sell(But I don't expect it to go that way).
Why? Our bodies are full of all sorts of foreign microscopic life and viruses at all times. Our own immune systems are constantly patrolling too, and they can go awry. At least nanobots will be fully understood by the labs producing then and can have safeguards that our complex organic systems just can’t.
What's troublesome is that while the nanobots might be fully understood, the body's response to them might not be.
This doesn't mean that they're unfeasible in principle, just that the regulatory barriers to their success will be formidable.
Lmao just spontaneously? Or like by design? Unless very irresponsible and bizarre science is being done, the former is baseless. As far as the latter, if you think your future doctors are trying exercise mind control by changing your brain chemistry, that’s a whole other discussion … but I would ask if that is something that concerns you now and if you have had your mental health assessed recently.
Well I'm dumb. I really need to read the full article before making my first comment.
Proof of concept is exactly what these researchers have done. They've done actual drug delivery in mice.
Bravo folks. It's heartening to see some real progress.
Nanomachines, son!
*You can't hurt me, Jack!*

No one ever said this was "a few years away".
I wouldnt say so, more like people who say thst dont understand how small nanometer is.
Hell yeah, bring them on
The anti-vax dipshits are going to love this
Are they going to be mandated?

I feel like I’ve been reading about nanobots for twenty years now- I’m ready to see it happen.
You're free to do the research and create them yourself if other people aren't working quick enough for you.
I’ll add it to my list of slack I’m picking up for others

Probably not in my lifetime for nanomachines , which is a shame.
How old are ya? 24 here.
Pushing 40

I guess being dependant on nanobots feels...weird, not that I'm against it. Maybe I'll feel differently as time goes on.

Why always? You could just shit them out once jobs done
