Nanites (part 1)


What are nanites? Nanites are microscopic robots, typically ranging in size from 0.1-10 micrometers that are constructed of molecular components. These machines are currently in the research and development stage, but some of the tiny robots are already in the test phase of development. A future with nanotechnology at work would mean a gigantic leap forward in medicine, where diseases, organ failure, injuries, and other medical situations could be more efficiently addressed or possibly averted altogether. Nanites administered as drug carriers, diagnostic assistants, or as healing mechanisms to assist in the reconstruction of tissue would revolutionize the medical industry. In the Solar Echoes universe, nanites are used both for healing and as weapons.
