DNA Robot Destroyer Cancer Of The Body
Scientists have created a microscopic robot from DNA molecules that can walk, turn and even create products in their own little nano-scale assembly line. Revolutionary device described in the journal Nature this in the future is expected to lead an army surgeon robot that can clear arteries of human or computer component built in them.
Quoted from the Daily Mail, one of the project proponents of the New York Columbia University has even developed a robotic spider measuring 4 nanometers or about 100,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. Spider robot is expected to run along the trajectory of DNA. By using the groove in the order, the robot can be made to walk, turn left or right corresponding groove of DNA strands. Robot body is composed of a protein called streptavidin. Attached to the foot of the three 'enzymatic DNA' single strand binding and fourth legs are strands that carry the spider to the starting point.
"Once the robot is released from the trigger, then he will tie and then cut the strands of DNA," says Milan Stojanovic, chairman of the project team. After the string is cut, robot legs began to gain line and DNA matching. With this, the robot is guided into the path set by the researcher. To view the robot is moving, the researchers used an atomic force microscope. This robot can record signs of illness on the cell surface, determine the cell is a cancer, destroying cancer cells even robots that can deliver compounds to kill him.
Apparently 'DNA walk' has been developed since the first, but they never achieved as it is today. "The robot can walk up to 100 nanometers, or about 50 steps," said Professor Yan from Arizona State University.
"This is the first system to use nanoscale machines to perform operations. An important advance in the evolution of DNA technology," said Lloyd Smith of the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
