Nanoelectronics are revolutionizing healthcare by offering personalized medicine and innovative treatment options, but challenges such as immune response and communication with external sources need to be addressed.
Resumé
Nanoelectronics, at one-billionth of a meter in size, have immense potential in transforming healthcare. The global nanotechnology market is booming, with applications ranging from medicine to environmental science. Researchers are exploring the use of ultra-tiny devices like anthrobots derived from human tissue to treat diseases without triggering an immune response. Challenges remain in targeting specific tissues, communicating externally, and managing vast amounts of data generated by these devices. Despite the hurdles, the fusion of nanotechnology and cells holds promise for groundbreaking applications beyond healthcare.
