nanomedicine: nanotechnology for cancer treatment
Published on Mar 5, 2010
Solving radiotherapy s biggest limitation. Medicine is now using physics every day to treat cancer patients. Nanotechnologies or Nanomedicine can help clinicians deliver safer and more efficient treatments by shifting the intended effect from the macroscopic to the subcellular level.

Published on May 30, 2013
What if you could swallow a pill that conducts surgery? What can the world's tiniest robots do to DNA and cells? Harvard Medical School's Dr. Omid Farokhzad, one of the leading researchers in the world of nanoscience, joins digits.
Cellular Surgeons: The New Era of Nanomedicine
Published on Aug 1, 2014
Pills the size of molecules to seek and destroy tumors. Miniscule robots performing surgery inside patients with a precision never before achieved. Nanobots, a billionth of a meter across, fixing mutations in DNA, or repairing neurons in your brain. Such are the possibilities as medicine enters the nano-era. Join leading researchers who are pushing these frontiers, to learn of new cures in the coming nano-revolution and possible risks of the molecular E.R.
Swarming Nanomedicine | Sabine Hauert | TEDxWarwick
Published on May 7, 2015
Dr. Sabine Hauert is a Swarm Engineer at the University of Bristol and Bristol Robotics Laboratory, where she designs swarms of nanobots for biomedical applications.
Swarm strategies are either inspired from nature or are automatically designed using machine learning and crowdsourcing. Sabine has designed swarms of nanoparticles for cancer treatment at MIT and deployed large aerial swarms for use as communication relays at EPFL. Her work has been featured in mainstream media including The Economist, CNN, and New Scientist.
Sabine is passionate about science communication and, as well as having produced award-winning videos viewed over 250,000 times, is the Co-founder and President of Robohub, a non-profit dedicated to connecting the robotics community to the rest of the world - Robohub already features over 1000 blog posts and 1.5 million podcast downloads!

Researchers controlled nanomotors inside living cells for the first time using tiny synthetic motors and ultrasonic waves. Penn State scientists have a brand new way to study cell biology, but may be on the way to medical nanotechnology- they could treat diseases like cancer by manipulating cells, delivering drugs, and maybe much more. Kim Horcher, Tim Frisch, and Dave Rubin (Host, The Rubin Report) discuss.

Block M's in a cancer fight
Published on Aug 13, 2015
Creating the world's smallest block M was not the end goal for Associate Professor Anish Tuteja, but it is an effective demonstration of his team's simple process of creating complex shapes one thousand times smaller than the width of a human hair.
University of Michigan researchers have created the world’s smallest three-dimensional block M’s using a new nanoparticle manufacturing process. The new technique may pave the way to medications that can target specific cells, deliver multiple drugs at different times and rates and even allow doctors to steer them to specific locations in the body.
Anish Tuteja, Associate Professor of Macromolecular Science and Engineering, studied chemical engineering at Panjab University in his hometown of Chandigarh, India. He received his PhD in Chemical Engineering and Materials Science in 2006. His research is focused on using polymers to address some of the key challenges in the areas of renewable energy and environmental science. Particular areas of interest include Superoleophobic surfaces, Superhydrophobic Surfaces, Ice-Repellent Surfaces, Membranes, Polymer Nanocomposites, Thermoelectrics, Solar Cells, and Liquid-liquid Separations.

Spermbots deliver sperm to egg
Published on Jan 13, 2016
In order to help “poor swimmers”, scientists developed “spermbots” that can deliver healthy sperm to an egg. The tiny metallic helices are just large enough to fit around the tail of a sperm. Their movements can be controlled by a magnetic field and lab testing showed they can deliver sperm to an egg for potential fertilization.
