Brickheads – Osteobots Practice Skit.mpg

For the 2010 Body Forward First Lego League season, we have chosen a project that is for patients with osteopenia (low bone mass) and a way to prevent osteoporosis. We have combined the current technologies of stem cell research, synthetic materials to mineralize the new bone quickly, and nanotechnology. Although nanobots seem like a way off in the future idea, the truth is they should be being used for medical procedures by 2020. In order to build nanobots, you would have to do what most people feel is impossible, but IBM has already achieved it! IBM has recently achieved the ability to build things 1 molecule at a time. This breakthrough is called molecular manufacturing. Up until now all we’ve known of is atomic level manufacturing, but all of that is about to change drastically. The stem cells that would be delivered by the nanobots or stimulated to reproduce themselves quicker in younger patients are called osteoblasts. Osteoblasts are new bone cells that start out soft, but mineralize over time with the help of minerals like calcium and phosphorus. Researchers have discovered that electro spun and elctrosprayed nanfibrous materials mineralize osteoblasts at a much higher rate than regular minerals. Nanobots will be able to be built with numerous different substances like synthetic hydroxyapatite. Hydroxyapatite is a new synthetic ceramic that actually promotes the growth of osteoblasts in test trials. The nanobots will deliver the stem cells, the electro spun …

Viruses are nanotechnology (how a virus works)

Download high quality version here: www.megaupload.com There are many methods of corrupting human DNA, starting with EMF, vaccinations and ending with GM foods. Viruses are artificial nanotechnology (which does not necessarily mean MAN-MADE) created especially for this purpose. According to recent studies 32% of human genome consists of the information encoded by virus-like elements and transposons. Viruses are non-living microscopic particles that attack healthy cells within living things. They do not have the characteristics of living things and incapable to metabolize. Viruses are not alive, so they do not have a need for food like living organisms. Viruses do not have an organized cell structure. They are so light that they can float in the air or water, be passed on to other organisms if touched, and fit anywhere. Viruses invade the cells of both plants and animals. They reproduce inside healthy cells causing diseases that are hard to treat. Viruses can not reproduce by themselves like bacteria or cells. They must attach themselves to the cell membrane of animals, or cell wall of plants and inject a part of their DNA into the cells of the host organism.. They do this by using a hollow tube structure to puncture the cell wall/membrane and pass its DNA into the cell. New virus cells are incubated inside the invaded cell. Once the virus DNA reproduces itself inside the cell, it uses the natural process of osmosis to leave the cell. These new virus cells attach to other …

Nanotechnology Takes Off – KQED QUEST

From Lawrence Berkeley National Labs to Silicon Valley, researchers are manipulating particles at the atomic level, ushering in potential cures for cancer, clothes that don’t stain, and solar panels as thick as a sheet of paper. www.kqed.org
