The Nano Revolution - More than Human

Episode 1/3

Synopsis

What are these nanotechnologies that promise to disrupt many areas of our lives? Medical part of the series.

In the medical sector, after only fifteen years of research, the first "nano" products are appearing. Some are already on the market, others in the clinical trial phase. These are new diagnostic systems whose precision and simplicity allow the development of more preventive and personalized medicine. But also a spectacular improvement in the effectiveness of many treatments against cancer or cardiovascular disease through the possibility of exclusively targeting diseased cells.

 

Bearing considerable hope, these advances will undoubtedly confront us with new situations and questions. According to some, the powers of nanotechnology could go so far as to allow the emergence of a new man with "enhanced performance", a cyborg covered with electronic implants directly connected to his nervous system. Nightmare or future reality?

 

 

The Serie : It’s a universe where scientists explore matter on a scale 80,000 times smaller than a human hair. It’s a gigantic global laboratory where scientists converge from all disciplines, and dedicate themselves to observing and manipulating the smallest particles in the natural world.

Thirty years ago, new microscopes first opened the doors to this new dimension and allowed scientists to begin moving individual atoms and molecules .This science of the miniscule is already opening up a new world of possibilities. Nanotechnology has been called “the next technological revolution”. It is said to provide groundbreaking solutions to the most serious problems that threaten our future –it promises faster computers, improved security, longer healthier lives and a cleaner earth.
