In February, Adriano Cavalcanti and his colleagues are publishing for the first time the detailed work describing a medical nanorobot hardware architecture for diabetes (*). This new paper, published in the journal Recent Patents on Nanotechnology - Bentham Science, addresses the concept behind the use of nanorobots as pervasive monitoring devices to help in the therapy of patients with diabetes.

NanoVIP decided to interview Adriano Cavalcanti about his current and upcoming works for the gradual development and future use of nanorobots for diabetes.

Nanovip.com wants to thank John Burch for the authorization to host the nanofactory movie on our servers.

Lizard Fire Studios worked with Dr. Eric Drexler of Nanorex to illustrate the operation of a desktop-scale nanofactory, and Version 1.1 is now available.

Why develop a nanofactory? Do you see value in a medical cure for cancer and AIDS, or do you know someone with a spinal injury and reduced quality of life? A machine like this could produce medical instruments and therapeutic devices able to make these problems a thing of the past.

This book should be used by anyone who wants to add nanotechnology knowledge: white paper, scientific results....

Introduction

Cette page a pour but d’expliquer ce que sont les Nanotechnologies et de présenter succinctement les principales notions essentielles du sujet, afin que le lecteur novice puisse se faire une idée des perspectives et enjeux qui ne manqueront pas de se présenter au cours des prochaines années. Nous tenons à avertir le lecteur que la définition même de " Nanotechnologie " est controversée, et que certains seront tentés de nuancer notre définition. Nous avons cependant établi notre définition sur les notions communément admises par les professionnels du milieu.

Here is a World Council of Churches document, developed in association with the World Association for Christian Communication and the Bossey Ecumenical Institute, republished on Nanovip.com with the written authorization of the WCC.

The report was commented on many nanotechnology blogs, and since ethics, faith and (nano)technology are often debated, we thought about sharing this document with our visitors.

Introduction

The goal for this page is to explain what Nanotechnologies are and to present in a succinct manner the essential principal notions on the subject, so that newcomers to the field are given an overview of the perspectives and issues which will undoubtedly present themselves in the years to come. We should warn the reader that even the definition of “Nanotechnology” is controversial, and that some may wish to qualify our definition. For that reason, we have based our definition on the notions currently held by the professionals in the field.

Nanotechnology is a vast technology domain. Here are various thoughts and definitions on the subject.
