HTTP:: Nanowires 039 Compatible 039 with the Human Brain
--------
Nanotechnology is today perhaps the most promising research field in the world. In the future, scientists believe that a large number of innovations will be based on it, ranging from better solar sensors, to better computer and electronics devices, and better treatments for a large number of conditions. However, in order to be used inside the body, the nanoparticles need to be deemed safe first. That is to say, experts need to prove that no harmful interactions occur between blood vessels, organs and brains, on the one hand, and the unfathomably small particles on the other, AlphaGalileo reports. Experts envision using nanoscale sensors in the future for studying how learning and memory take place inside the brain, and also for treating patients suffering from chronic pain. Diseases such as Parkinson's and depression could also fall victim to the new therapies. Additionally, drug- or gene-loaded nanoparticles will be inserted in the body in the near future, to deliver a f!
ast punch into any tumor or infection at exactly the right place and time, without killing any friendly cells. The issue of hot debates in the international community at this point is what would happen if the nanoscale electrodes came loose from their anchor points, and started drifting through the body or brain. In an effort to answer thi...
