A series of new innovations using nanotechnology

The 50 nanometer laser beam was introduced at the Israel Nano Workshop on Nov. 8. At first sight , it was thought that the science fiction was a joke, but they were part of a series of innovations announced at the nano-technology conference. ' Nano Israel 2010 ' takes place in the capital city of Tel Aviv, Israel.

The workshop attracted researchers from all over the world to attend.

1,500 delegates attending this two-day conference included chemists, physicists and health professionals. All of these people are working with microscopic materials that are only about the same thickness as an atom.

" We are all working to be able to control molecules at the atomic level ," said Dam Peer , a professor at the University of Tel Aviv's Department of Cellular Research . '

Physicists are developing new materials by removing or adding material structures, while nanoparticle researchers are developing ways to distribute drugs in patients.

Professor Peer is trying to figure out how to effectively affect cancer and the inflammatory mechanisms involved in diseases like multiple sclerosis through chemotherapy.

" Some drugs are put in the body but do not work for the physician's purposes ."

In such cases, scientists will seek to establish a ' GPS system ' within the drug to help them reach the correct cancer cells or inflammation.

Professor Peer made an unprecedented statement: ' You can create new materials, new vehicles that carry drugs, like tiny bubbles, mini submarines, to carry drugs. body . "

Professor Joseph Kost of the Department of Mechanics, Ben Gurion University, is currently studying a technique that helps put cisplatin chemotherapy drugs into the tumor. The drug will be powered by a microprocessor capable of traversing through the wide openings of about 100-1000 nanometers, known as the ' healing ammunition '.

Meanwhile, researchers will use ultrasound to track the paths of the ' warheads ' and ' detonate ' them, releasing drugs into the tumor.
