Developments in nanotechnology aren't all hard drive and bionic-hornet related -- researchers at the University of Missouri have developed a "dual-use" nanotech drug delivery device that they say can be used to target HIV and cancer. The device, which has a total volume of just a cubic inch, fires off supersonic shockwaves to make nearby tissues permeable to the proper drugs. The tech is still three years from being made available to pharmaceutical companies, but we're definitely counting the days until we can treat our colds with nanotech shockwaves.[Via Physorg]
Michael Vick tried to get in on the action, but then he was heard to say "Oh...you said HIV? Oh...nevermind then"
Great, let's create a bunch of HIV positive nanobots. Geniuses!
"which has a total volume of just a cubic inch" How in the heck is that nanotechnology?
I think someone missed a maths lesson...
Just give us government monitored RFID chips, that will make us a nice happy conforming nation. Pleaseee.
