Medical Applications of Nanorobotic Systems

-

 Nanorobotic Systems can have various potential uses in the healthcare system. Currently, the conceivable uses are for diagnosis, treatment, and surgery, and research is going on to get the desired result in the respective fields. With technological advancement, nanorobotics is expected to have several new medical applications and are expected to bring major transformations in cancer treatment, diabetes monitoring, wound-healing (regenerative medicine), dentistry, and blood monitoring (blood clot), among several others.


Nanorobotics comprises various nanoscale size components, and each of the components can be built to carry out a specific function. The different components can perform tasks such as sensing, actuating, signaling, processing information, or exhibiting swarm behavior at the nanoscale level. For example, in the case of diagnostics and screening, the ultimate aim is to reach an area in the body where passive nanoparticles cannot go. The Nanorobotic can be used as a contrast agent for the imaging of a particular area of the body.


Similarly, the Nanorobotic can carry a drug and molecule to a particular location of interest in the body. Also, with the help of Nanorobotics, the drug can be administered in a more organized way to a small targeted region. In the case of serious illnesses like cancer and heart disease, Nanorobotics can play a critical role in targeting the cancer cells and delivering more optimized treatments for various cardiovascular diseases. As of now, applications of Nanorobotics are in the research phase, and none of the systems has made it to the clinic phases. Nanorobotics is an exciting and promising field of research and is currently in the nascent stage. With the ongoing active research in the domain and investment by prominent healthcare companies, Nanobots are expected to make it to clinical use in the future.

Alternating Current

  What Is Alternating Current? An  alternating current  can be defined as a current that changes its magnitude and polarity at regular intervals of time. It can also be defined as an electrical current that repeatedly changes or reverses its direction opposite to that of Direct Current or DC, which always flows in a single direction as shown below From the graph, we can see that the charged particles in AC tend to start moving from zero. It increases to a maximum and then decreases back to zero completing one positive cycle. The particles then reverse their direction and reach the maximum in the opposite direction after which AC again returns to the original value completing a negative cycle. The same cycle is repeated again and again. Alternating currents are also accompanied usually by alternating voltages. Besides, alternating current is also easily transformed from a higher voltage level to a lower voltage level.

SOLAR TRANSFORMERS

  The transformers required for wind power and solar DPV require special design features to meet the challenging operating conditions. The industry today has developed different types of transformers for the application. The last few decades have seen very rapid development of renewable energy, especially, distributed photovoltaic (DPV) and wind power. It is estimated that at least 40 per cent of electricity generation by year 2040 would be from renewable energy sources and this would give appreciable reduction of the present level of carbon dioxide emissions of about 10 billion tons per year. The transformer industry is rising to this challenge and has developed special transformers for the DPV generation and wind generation. Transformers are critical components in solar energy production and distribution. Historically, transformers have ‘stepped-up’ or ‘stepped-down’ energy from non-renewable sources. There are different types of solar transformers including distribution, station, su
