When are we getting nanomachines in healthcare so we stop having to rely on hoping our new concoction of drugs doesn't inadvertently kill you?
>>
>>16866185
When they figure out how to make them do more than be a few atoms wobbling around in a petri dish
>>
im sorry to tell you, anon, but your entire conception of what nanomachines actually are was informed by hollywood magic
>>
>>16866185
virtually impossible read any nano technology RP and youll find that its insanely difficult unless we discover efficient ways to produce graphene batteries and shieet
>>
>>16866274
btw you're better off casting a spell or using umbilical cord stem cells cuh
>>
>>16866274
So we'll never advance past "put this drug in you, hope it works haha" and we'll never be able to really combat brain issues or certain cancers?
>>
>>16866185
wait, fuck nanobots, let's make our own custom white cells and blood cells, that alone could probably solve a fuckton of problems
>>
>>16866301
And whats the feasibility of that?
>>
>>16866295
Most drugs are tools or machines at the molecular level anyway.
>>
>>16866274
Anon, the basic tech necessary to make nanomachines was recently experimentally demonstrated. Much of the research is being done in secret, but news gets around.
>graphene
Meme
>graphene batteries
Even bigger meme
>>16866236
And yours was misinformed by Smalley. Buckle up, it's gonna be a wild ride
>>16866301
Biology's impossible to engineer. If it does work, it'll still be shit
>>16866372
No they aren't. Most drugs are just wrenches that jam up a proteins. Calling drugs and biology nanomachines is worthless biocope
>>
>>16866305
honestly I have no clue, but something tells me that it should be done and that it'd be OP as fuck
>Biology's impossible to engineer.
y tho
>>
>>16866523
forgot to also quote
>>16866500

my source of inspiration is that one white cell webm/.gif, that's essentially a bio-machine, a cell-animal

what are you contributing in return?

anon, microbiology IS nanomachines
just because proteins and the structures they form are not made of metal, doesn't mean they aren't nanomachines

or just take chlorine dioxide

You don't understand the medicinal system do you?
>>
>>16866185
What if I told you that they already exist in phase three trials?
