Recent Innovations/ Advancements in Nanotechnology in Different Countries (5) Robotic Nurse Assistant

Recent advancements in nanotechnology across different countries include: In the United States, nanotechnology is being used for medical devices and therapeutics by taking advantage of materials' increased surface area at the nanoscale for interactions with biomolecules. Multiple clinical trials of nanomaterials are underway. In Japan, a technology uses "nanobubble water" that allows fresh and saltwater fish to coexist. In Vietnam, a nanoscale probe was developed that can detect early DNA damage in living cells. Taiwan developed a smart air purifier that monitors indoor air quality and activates filters when hazardous particles are detected. In France, ASELTA Nanographics provides electron beam lithography software that increases resolution and accuracy for production customers.

RECENT INNOVATIONS/ ADVANCEMENTS IN NANOTECHNOLOGY IN

DIFFERENT COUNTRIES (5)


 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Robotic Nurse Assistant
One of the exciting features of
nanotechnology is its utility in the
field of Nano medicine, therapeutics,
and medical devices . When these
small size materials are introduced into
biological systems, their extremely
small size and their unique Nano scale
properties make it possible to use them as delivery vectors and probes for
biological diagnostics, bioimaging and therapeutics. In fact, when size decreases,
the surface area to volume ratio of materials becomes very large, so that a vast
suitable surface is available for chemical interactions with biomolecules. This
critically implied that nanotechnology is facing a transition into the tangible
advancement of human therapeutics. Recently, There are multiple clinical trials
of nanomaterials have done; both for therapeutics and for medical devices.

 JAPAN
NANO BUBBLE WATER
The National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology
(AIST) and REO developed the world's first 'nanobubble water'
technology that allows both fresh-water fish and saltwater fish to live in
the same water.
 VIETNAM NANOSENSOR PROBE
 A "nano-needle" with a tip about one-
thousandth the size of a human hair pokes a living
cell, causing it to quiver briefly. Once it is
withdrawn from the cell, this ORNL nanosensor
detects signs of early DNA damage that can lead to
cancer.
 This nanosensor of high selectivity and sensitivity was developed by a research
group led by Tuan Vo-Dinh and his coworkers Guy Griffin and Brian Cullum.
The group believes that, by using antibodies targeted to a wide variety of cell
chemicals, the nanosensor can monitor in a living cell the presence of proteins
and other species of biomedical interest.

 TAIWAN
FUME EXTRACTOR
WITH SMART DETECTION
 Developed by Southern
Taiwan University of
Technology and Science, this
fume extractor with smart
detection is the combination of a fume extractor and a smart detector, possessing
tri-layer detection as well as prevention and monitoring functions. This device
can activate the fan and filter the air immediately upon detection of abnormal
PM2.5 levels or high concentrations of hazardous gas. With both gas detection
and indoor air circulation capabilities, this device ensures all but the best air
quality within walls.
 FRANCE ASELTA NANOGRAPHICS

ASELTA is a privately funded French company


providing software environment mostly for the e-
beam market. A CEA-LETI spin-off, ASELTA has
production customers benefiting from its technology.
Its unique architecture allows customers to increase
resolution and accuracy.
