Advancements in Nanorobots for Medical Applications

Nanorobots can autonomously navigate the human body for targeted drug delivery and disease treatment.

### Nanorobots: The Future of Medical Intervention
Nanorobots, inspired by sci-fi movies, are being developed to **navigate the human body and remove blood clots**. Researchers have created a liquid filled with **200 nm round robots**, which rotate in a magnetic field and are powered by a **gold and iron oxide engine** coated with artificial DNA. The robots' movement is further enhanced by a **porous gold shell**, also coated with DNA, acting as a **rotor for spinning**.

### 나노로봇의 유전자 감지 및 동작 원리
나노로봇은 일치하는 유전자를 감지하면 **엔진과 로터가 함께 회전하며 작동**한다. DNA 편집을 통해 나노로봇이 특정 유전자를 만났을 때 작동하도록 할 수 있으며, 세포의 수용체를 **기계적으로 당겨 유전자 활성화**에도 성공했다. 이 나노로봇은 **다양한 운동으로 응용**될 수 있고, **복잡한 알고리즘 구현**이 가능하며, **자율주행 로봇으로 목표 지점을 찾아가는 연구**가 진행되고 있다.

### Advancements in Nanorobots: Navigating the Human Body for Medical Applications
* 🔬 A revolutionary concept involves mini-submarines that can **navigate the human body**, particularly through blood vessels to **eliminate blood clots**, reminiscent of themes in **sci-fi movies**.
* 🦠 Researchers have developed a liquid filled with **nanorobots that are visible under an electron microscope**, with each robot measuring **200 nm** and capable of **rotation in a magnetic field**.
* ⚙ The nanorobots are powered by an engine made of **gold and iron oxide**, which rotates when energized, while a **porous gold shell coated with DNA** acts as a rotor.
* 🧬 The DNA coating can be edited to allow the robots to **activate upon encountering specific genes**, functioning similarly to a **clutch that transfers power between the engine and rotor**.
* 🤖 The research team has successfully **mechanically pulled specific receptors** on the nanorobots to **activate target genes**, showcasing their potential for **precise medical applications**.
* 🔄 The rotational motion of the nanorobots can be adapted for various movements, and coding their DNA allows for the implementation of **complex algorithms**.
* 💊 These advancements suggest potential uses in **drug delivery and disease treatment**, with ongoing research aimed at creating **autonomous robots that can find target points within the body**.
