A nano-bot has been developed, which may bring upon us the tidings of a sweet revolution for anti-cancer precise drug delivery methods.
Many methods have been invented so far, that even includes giving radioactive treatments externally and internally (by drilling holes and implanting radioactive seeds in the bodily tumor)
However this nano-technology wonder known as “nanoimpellemer”
Releases drugs with light as a stimulus.
Nanomechanical systems designed to trap and release molecules from pores in response to a stimulus have been the subject of intensive investigation, in large part, for their potential applications in precise drug delivery.
the requirements are just a small container with a photoelectric sensor
The UCLA researchers used silica nanoparticles and coated the interiors of the pores with azobenzene capable of oscillation between two confirmations of light exposure
upon direction of light and its wavelength , the nanoimpeller mechanism took effect, it started wagging and forced the drugs out of the holes due to inertia and thus released the drugs
The bots can also be driven by a remote control
