Scientists in Bengaluru have developed a new strategy for controlling individual nanobots within a swarm. This breakthrough addresses a major challenge in nanotechnology. The new method paves the way for advanced applications in health, electronics, and manufacturing.
Researchers at IISc's Centre for Nano Science and Engineering (CeNSE) discovered that "intermittent randomization" offers a solution. By briefly disrupting each nanobot's orientation at random intervals, they can be controlled individually. This allows each bot to travel differently despite exposure to the same global control field.
This innovative approach could revolutionize medicine, manufacturing, and computing. It brings futuristic scenarios closer to reality without complex redesigns or miniaturized electronics. The technology has the potential to transform healthcare, electronics, and numerous other industries.
