Humans will soon be injected with robots into the blood to fight diseases

What if there was a magical robot with the ability to cure any disease? That is a silly question. Everyone knows there is no machine that can do that. But perhaps a swarm of tens of thousands of micro-automated bots could do the trick?

Not an idea taken from the game Metal Gear Solid, but a completely possible scenario from nanobot medical technology. If in sci-fi movies, tiny metal robots are often built using a kind of miniature technology that is no different from magic, nanobot technology is much more interesting in reality.

According to TheNextWeb, a team of researchers from Australia has developed a super impressive prototype that partly shows us the future of modern medicine.

Called 'self-propelled molecular machines', the new nanotechnology does not use the traditional army of tiny metal robots, but chooses a somewhat more natural direction. "Inspired by biology, we have designed and synthesized a DNA origami receptor, capable of multivalent interactions to form stable, complex organizations," the team's paper says. determined, and can quickly form subgroups'.

Nanobots in particular can convey more than just DNA information.

DNA Nanobots are artificial machines measuring in nanometers, made up of DNA and proteins. They are capable of self-propelled because DNA itself is a machine with a self-assembly mechanism.

Our natural DNA not only carries the biological code, but also knows when to execute that code. That's part of the reason why your left foot and right foot often tend to grow at the same rate.

Previous studies in the field of DNA nanotechnology have shown that self-assembling machines are capable of transmitting DNA codes, just like natural DNA.

But the technology Australian scientists have developed is unlike anything we've seen before.

According to the research report: 'We use the DNA origami receptor to represent a stable interaction process, which involves the rapid exchange of both DNA and protein subgroups, thereby highlighting turns on the applicability of our approach to any group of molecules.'.

These special nanobots can convey more than just DNA information. In theory, they could deliver any protein sequence throughout a specified biological system.

Simply put: We will be able to program swarms of nanobots to hunt down bacteria, viruses, and cancer cells in our bodies. Each member of the nanobot swarm can carry a specific protein, and when they find the faulty cell, they can arrange their proteins into a formation to wipe out the threat.

It's like owning an army of super killer robots, floating in the blood, hunting monsters to destroy.

While that's still a long way off, this research is indeed a giant leap into the future. This is the first time a DNA nanobot is capable of carrying any package!

Scientists could even use these nanobots to build smart materials that automatically respond to pressure - like clothes or self-repairing glass doors.

And perhaps most excitingly, in the distant future, we might be able to build perfectly functioning molecular computers using DNA nanobots.

In the next century or two, every human being will have molecular computer systems inside their bodies. Those living machines will essentially build and control 'biological factories' in the body, creating a team of killer nanobots from the proteins we consume. They will help us avoid all diseases throughout our lives.

The best part is: These computers will have perfect security. We inherit them from our parents' DNA, so they'll be like a part of us, like our brains or our hearts - no 5G required at all!
