Robots have always fascinated humans with their ability to follow commands and execute them in a jiffy. These machines are structured in a way to make them resemble a human body in order to make them friendlier. However, even these robots seem to be outdated with the newest invention of nano robots or nanobots.
The nanobots are robots about 0.1 to 10 micrometers in size. These nanobots however, have a mission far bigger than their larger counterparts. They are planned to be used in delivering the medicine to a specific target in the body, which might otherwise not be possible. But, to propel these nanobots in the body, some trigger has to be used to properly deliver the medicine.
Many attempts are made to create a proper propellant, which can shoot the nanobot correctly. The newest one in this direction seems to be the propellant made from the assembly line of ATP found in the tail of the sperm. The ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate found in the tail is converted into energy, which shoots the sperm at the rate of 7 inches per hour.
Scientists have now thought of using this technology to power the nanobots which will send it zooming inside the body. These nanobots may seem to be a very far-fetched technology, but they have already arrived and only need to be ’shooted up’ for revolutionizing technology.
