• How and Why Do Scientists Create Nanorobots?

  … atoms and molecules, and their arrangement can vary significantly. Such structures can be made from organic (proteins, nucleic acids) or inorganic (silicon, carbon, ferrous materials) compounds and their combinations. Why, then, are they called robots? Here, a distinction has to be made between nanomachines and nanorobots. The main difference between…
