REFERENCESWe have been hearing about nanotechnology for a long time back in both science fiction and in the media, but that not much has come of it so far. However, new platforms of nanotech-based treatments are on the horizon, and are ready to change the world of medicine. Basically nanotechnology is the field that works at the nano scale range (One nanometer is one billionth of a meter).1 Nanomedicine is linked nanotechnology for medical purposes. They are some other terms including biomedical nanotechnology, bionanotechnology and nanobiotechnology. The potency of nanotechnology took a long time to show its face, but it is finally starting to arrive in the form of sophisticated medical interference that will proudly change the nature of healthcare in the near future. In the medicine technology, one of the biggest issues is our inability to correctly target interventions. Nanotechnology offers a way to direct interposition in the human body, potentially on a level of particular cells, using smart operating elements that are so small that they do not physically interfere with normal body function.2 Fine fingers do less damage, and machines smaller than the micro capillary in the body can go everywhere that blood goes. If they can be made smart enough, such nanomedical devices can aptly choose where and how to intervene. Obviously, more will be possible when engineers can build robots that have more refined behaviours (like the ability to work under their own power), but even relatively primeval nanomachines of today have a lot of value. Nanotechnology will play a vital role on all of our lives in the very near future in everything ranging from clothes to medicine. Below are a few things that will benefit your future based on the wondrous possibilities of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is the cure-all medicine that we have been searching for years and it turns out that it's not actually a "medicine" at all!. The efficiency of Nanotechnology implemented in complicated, chronic untreated heart 3 and respiratory diseases 4 and to focus on diabetes 5 , cancer 6 and birth defects etc.Many people are not capable of breeding simply because their bodies are not good hosts to a suitable environment. With the aid of nanotechnology, these little nanobots will quickly go to work at reconstructing your genitals and other reproductive characters so you'll once again be able to carry your own children. That means you don't have to adopt children, because you can now have your very own child that has your own genes. In the nanotechnology, tiny computers called nanites come together to work simultaneously throughout whatever object they are inserted into in order to perform amazing tasks at the molecular level and these really cool structures called nanotubes (carbon nanotubes) that are just as stiff as diamonds and one hundred times stronger than steel, yet they're six times lighter than steel. Nanomedicine will be able to move throughout your body and locate any and all cancer cells and not only label them so that doctors will ...

Any damage at molecular or cellular level is the major culprit for disease & ill health. Nanotechnology, “the manufacturing technology of the 21st century," helps us economically build a broad range of complex molecular machines by manipulating matter on an atomic and molecular scale. Nanotech may be able to create many new materials and devices with at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometres with a vast range of applications, such as in medicine, electronics, biomaterials and energy production. Lots of new possibilities come into account in relation to use of nanotechnology in medicines. Nanotechnology in medicine involves applications of nanoparticles, also involves nano-robots to make repairs at the cellular levels. On the other hand, nanotechnology raises many of the same issues as any new technology, including concerns about the toxicity and environmental impact of nanomaterials.

“…• Similarly, research foresees swarms of nano-robots to be used in medical applications, for instance swimming in patient's blood vessels [48]. The sensors carried by the robots would allow them to act on various chemical or physical parameters such as temperature, pressure and the local concentration of substances in the blood.…”

AbstractComplexity Engineering encompasses a set of approaches to engineering systems which are typically composed of various interacting entities often exhibiting self-* behaviours and emergence. The engineer or designer uses methods that benefit from the findings of complexity science and often considerably differ from the classical engineering approach of “divide and conquer”.This article provides an overview on some very interdisciplinary and innovative research areas and projects in the field of Complexity Engineering, including synthetic biology, chemistry, artificial life, self-healing materials and others. It then classifies the presented work according to five types of nature-inspired technology, namely: (1) using technology to understand nature, (2) nature-inspiration for technology, (3) using technology on natural systems, (4) using biotechnology methods in software engineering, and (5) using technology to model nature. Finally, future trends in Complexity Engineering are indicated and related risks are discussed.
