Herbs (enhanced by Nanotechnology) used to fight cancer
Natural herbs enhanced with Nanotechnology are being used to combat and fight cancer. If successfully developed, this natural remedy would revolutionise global cancer treatment and prolong life. Such treatment is non-invasive a...
DNA Testing and Social Engineering on the rise
Technological advancements have seen that DNA can be accurately tested (for example to prove paternity). As this technology becomes more integrated into society, will people start to pick partners and friends by their DNA? Will...
Invisibility spray available in high street stores
An invisibility spray is developed and the technology refined until it becomes available in most retail outlets and is affordable for the general public. Initially, this is seen as fun, however there are strong implications for...
Doc-in-a-box: Pervasive self treatment and diagnosis
Nano-enabled self diagnosis and self treatment becomes pervasive. This would allow the general public to diagnose, monitor and treat illness themselves having their own ‘Doc in a Box’. Doctors may become redundant and the a...
Cities are lunch for plastic bag-bugs
Synthetic organisms are developed for use in the industrial production of plastics, both to extend product life and to accelerate environmental bio-degradation. The latter varieties prove difficult to control and in some tests ...
People do not care about their health
People do not care about their health because they will have a nano-lab inside their bodies.
Self-assembling robots responding to light and heat can assemble into larger equipment
Intentional propoganda to public
The public realise they have been mislead over concerns of nano research and refuse to accept this as an emerging technology.
Nano becoming more widely accepted
As the public accept nanotechnology, there is less scepticism to research topics. This could allow dramatic breakthroughs in the future as the worl becomes nano-inspired.
Molecular manufacturing turns into the next industrial revol ...
The old vision of molecular nanotechnology (first introduced by Drexler) materializes. "universal nano-assemblers" or "nanofactories" build objects of practically any arbitrary size and complexity (including copies of themselve...
Disintegrating of ordinary (nano-enabled, molecularly-manufa ...
In the future industry most products are manufactured by "bottom-up" molecular nanotechnology, and many have built-in expiry date (when they automatically disintegrate for recycling). Terrorists or criminals find a way to disin...
Global System for Safe Nanotechnologies (GSSN)
“Could Europe’s nanodreams come true?” - Based on lessons learned from Europe’s GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) success in the 1980s, an influential European consortium develops standards for nanotechnolog...
First Side Effects of Nanotechnology-Based Consumer Products
The number of cosmetical and medical products as well as food, that incorporate nanotechnology is rising daily. Risks and side affects of products cannot be foreseen yet; nevertheless, some side effects have already been seen i...
Universal personal energy wallet
Everyody has one's own personal "energy wallet" which may be used as univerzal source of energy (battery) for various electronic personal gadgets (such as notebook, mobile phone, mp3 player, gameboy, shaving machine etc.). Tha...
Untraceable weapons made with nanotechnology could be smaller than an insect with the intelligence of a supercomputer. Possible nano and bio technology arms race.
