If you look at the statistics today, and you think about how many researchers and scientists are working on "nanotechnology," you think, "Gee, this field is exploding." It's not true. It's just that everybody who used to work on less glamorous projects just renamed all their stuff to be nanotechnology. So, now they call it nanotech, and they're getting grant money, and the statistics show that there's all this nanotech research going on. | | You see this with nanotechnology all the time.

It's the same research; it's just been renamed.
Now, there is some new nanotech research going on, but I'm skeptical about this, as well. They say they'll be able to build an army of nanotechnology robots, little molecular-scaled robots that will run around your body and cure cancer. That's right, these little robots are going to snip away at cancer tumors, and I've said this before, but we already have such a system. It's in our bodies right now. |

The new technology Dr. Eschenbach speaks of is nanotechnology. Let's examine what it is. According to statements by the NCI, "nanotech is a technology with major potential to drive new generations of cancer diagnostics and therapeutic products."
Technology employs structures or devices that are so small they are only the size of atoms or molecules. Following are some of the new technology that Eschenbach and others say will revolutionize cancer care. |

You often hear talk about nanotechnology in modern science. There are frequent discussions about building tiny robots that would circulate through the human body and eliminate cancer cells, repair arteries, and accomplish all sorts of other miraculous sounding things. I always laugh at this because the human body already has nanotechnology that does all of this and much more. We have an immune system that puts any man-made technology to shame. Our body already knows how to repair itself. |

It's called the immune system, and it's the most advanced nanotechnology in the world. This stuff is amazing. It cures cancer every single day in every single human being who's alive right now. |

See book keywords and concepts |  To the extent that we think about nanotech at all, we tend to associate it with science-fictional possibilities: self-organizing swarms of self-replicating nanobots, moving through the world reorganizing matter at will, perhaps getting loose and turning the planet into "gray goo," a term coined by nanotech pioneer Eric Drexler in Engines of Creation. These images have about as much to do with the nature of nanotech as artificial skin grafts on burn patients have to do with the bioengineered replicants in the movie Blade Runner. |

I know it may seem strange to think of a cow as a miracle of nature. But in fact, a cow automatically creates and leverages biomolecular technology that puts our modern science to shame. |

Quantum Dots dramatically improves clinical diagnostic tests for early cancer detection. These tiny particles glow and act as markers on cells and genes, enabling doctors to visualize cancer when present or impending. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Though that scenario has been largely refuted, it is still very plausible that nanotech and other new sciences could produce unforeseen and detrimental results; therefore, nanotech-nologists need a managing principle akin to the Hippocratic oath. A reinterpretation of the Precautionary Principle—the idea that any actions whose outcomes are unknown or potentially negative should be avoided —is probably the best tool to keep those nanomachines in check. |

So getting back to these sunflower plants, no one would say that the plant on the right is more vibrant and healthier because it has a degree in molecular biology. Rather, the plant on the right is healthy because it has better nutrition. It's really that simple. And as human beings, we can do the same thing. |

In the not-so-distant future, molecular manipulation and rapid prototyping will combine to produce a tabletop nanotech manufacturing system—a nanofactory. This sounds prosaic; it will be anything but. Molecular manufacturing has the power to transform the way we make things.
Consider the process of designing a butterfly-sized self-guided microairplane today. It would take many hours to find lightweight materials, and many more hours to construct the device by hand. The apparatus could carry only a tiny battery and a few bits of electronics. | | As we get more adept at recycling and reusing materials, nanoscale production will let us do much more using less energy, less new material, and fewer scarce resources. nanotech can also help us move toward a cleaner planet in the following ways:
¦ Nanoscale materials are already being used as environmental sensors that are able to detect minute quantities of toxins and hazards. The same kinds of nanomaterials can also be used to filter contaminants such as metals, bacteria, and even viruses, from water. |
