Nanotechnology: A Coming Boon
Nanotechnology is promising to be a great leap in many varied fields. Nanotechnology is going to help the medical field by allowing people to send in tiny robots to deliver medicine to work in people’s bodies. Nanowires will help us gather energy via solar cells, however there will still be challenges in this endeavor; the technology could be quite expensive, it will take a lot of time and resources and will be difficult to do, even for robots, because of the size.
Nanowires could change how we get energy; they have shown potential application in solar cells which capture energy that is radiated from the sun. Smaller solar cells would mean more mobile electrical generating units which would have a great effect on electronics far from urban development. This would be a great boon for rural communities as well as military endeavors.
The medical field should be invigorated by Nanotechnology. We will be able to send drones into a body to destroy sick cells, or deliver medicine directly to the cells that need it. This would reduce or remove the need for invasive surgeries.
Nanotechnology will be a great leap in science but it will have its challenges, for instance it will probably be very expensive to get the materials to create such small gadgets. The procedure will likely be very time consuming and difficult to do even if it’s done by robots because of the extremely small size of the elements concerned. At the size we’re talking about the margin for error is less than zero.
Nanotechnology will make life much easier and improve a lot of things. It could change how we get energy, how doctors treat their patients but it will still have its drawbacks however it promises to be worth the trouble.
