Abstract

Molecular nanotechnology is destined to become the core technology in 21 st century medicine. Nanotechnology mean, controlling biologically relevant structures with molecular precision. Nanomedicine is exploring how to use carbon buckyballs, dendrimers and other cleverly engineered nanoparticles in novel drugs to combat viruses, bacteria, cancer and delivery of drugs. Medical nanorobots will be of the size of a microbe, capable of self-replication, containing onboard sensors, computers, manipulators, pumps, pressure tanks and power supplies. Building such sophisticated molecular machine systems will require molecular manufacturing to using massively parallel assembly lines in nanofactories.
