Microscopic "fish" will purify Your blood from toxins
Scientists for many years dreaming of tiny robots that can work inside our bodies — despite the warnings of some science fiction. Researchers from the University of San Diego has advanced this issue further: they recently made a proposal to create a "mikrorynok" that would float in the blood and purify it from toxins.
A team of researchers has developed a method of 3D printing called "microscale continuous optical printing", which will allow for a few seconds to create hundreds of fish-like bots with a thickness less than a human hair. Developed the printer can create objects of various shapes and add to them, the nanoparticles that perform different functions, due to the millions of microthermal, which project ultraviolet light on the photosensitive material.
For example, platinum nanoparticles in the "tail" of the bot will react with hydrogen peroxide and move it in space, and the iron oxide in its "head" will allow researchers to control the movement of the bot with the help of magnets. Once the bots reach the desired location will be the removal of toxins. To make sure that everything worked as needed, the developers added the connection of the nanoparticles, removing the venom from the body. As a result of this reaction, the compound begins to glow, the researchers were able to assess the effectiveness of bots, measuring the intensity of light emission.
The system also has the potential to deliver drugs in the body. The team of researchers hopes to create in the end, "surgical microbots that can act safely and accurately" — although at the moment these bots have been tried only on mice. However, the technology microthermal, which was developed to print "fish" is very promising — it can be adapted to create different desired flowsin Microdevices. published
