For decades, the idea of microscopic robots travelling through the human bloodstream to hunt down disease sounded like pure science fiction. That idea is now a serious field of biomedical engineering. Medical nanorobotics sits at the intersection of nanotechnology, robotics, molecular biology, materials science, and artificial intelligence, and it is reshaping how researchers think about diagnosing and treating disease at the cellular and molecular level.
Nanobots, also called nanorobots or nanomachines, are engineered devices or particles built at the nanoscale, typically between 1 and 100 nanometers. However, many practical "nanobots" in biomedicine are hybrid mi...
