APPLICATIONS OF NANOCOMPUTER

We always use the latest generation of technology to create the next generation of technology, which causes a compounding effect on the resultant power and capabilities of that technology.

Nanocomputers in a way being an emerging invention follow the same stance in various fields.

Nanospace

1)Space exploration

Spacecraft are being launched, with hulls that are composed of carbon fibers, a light weight high strength material. Combining that with smaller on board computers that perform hundreds of times faster than computers used on spacecraft just a decade ago and one can see stream of incredible advances in space exploration.

2)Secure space craft launching

smart materials for the hulls of spacecraft could be primarily composed of nanotube fibers with nano sized computers integrated into them. These materials along with being even lighter will also be far stronger too creating a surface that will help transfer the aerodynamic forces working on a spacecraft during launch.

3)Pressure control

When the craft is launched the nano computers will flex the crafts hull to offset pressure differences in the hull caused by the crafts acceleration through the atmosphere.

4)Temperature control

To equalize the surface temperature now, a spacecraft must be kept rotating and although a slight spin is good in maintaining the attitude of a craft sometimes it interferes with the mission plan, like when a spacecraft is taking photographs or is in the process of docking with another craft. Just the introduction of nano computer network in the hull would go to work heating the shaded side of the craft and cooling the sun exposed side avoiding the whole rotating blunder.

5)Self empowered Space suits

Swarms that are nano robots acting in unison like bees ,theoretically, will act as a flexible cloth like material and being composed of Bucky tubes, this cloth will be as strong as diamond. Add to this cloth of nano machines nano computers and you

have smart cloth which can be used in space suits. It will keep astronauts from bouncing around inside their spacecraft while they sleep, a problem that arises when the auto pilot computer fires the course correction rockets. The cloth like material will be able to offset the sudden movements and slowly move the sleeping astronaut back into position. This material will not only be capable of repairing itself quickly or controlling the environment inside the suit but it will be able to communicate with it's wearer what it is doing and what's going on outside the suit. On the planet Mars for example a suit made of smart cloth could extract oxygen from the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere for the wearer. The same suit could extract solar energy to power the suit.

And many more……

*The smart suit would also literally be a life saver on Earth. Imagine a fire fighter wearing a suit that could extract Oxygen from the environment he is in. "Foam Swarms" not even as a suit but sprayed from a container about like the average sized hand held fire extinguisher could be used to extract and store dangerous toxins and flamables. The smart foam under the control of a fire fighter would act as a portable environment that would engulf any victims found, protecting them from heat and toxic gas, and supply them with oxygen. The Smart foam would be able to shape some of itself into a suit for the victim and begin to monitor the victims vitals and even be able to report to an on site, or by wireless satellite communication, off site medic or doctor the condition of the victim including broken bones etc. The smart suit could even upon sensing a broken bone begin to reinforce and create on the spot a cast, a cast that would be able to act on the damaged bone so the victim could walk out on a broken leg. The smart foam would also be able to utilize different stratagies to dissipate heat, for example, it could shape itself into a radiator so as to dump heat away from the fire fighters and victims.

Cancel Cancer

In 1986, Eric Drexler wrote Engines of Creation. In that, dealing with the possibilities of nanotechnology Drexler proposed a device that would have a robotic limb controlled by a computer, that would be able to move around atoms and position them exactly and precisely where the robot wanted them to be. This type of robotic limb is called an “assembler”. These “assemblers” are similar to enzymes in biology that adhere molecules together in new patterns all the time. These

molecular machines are made so precisely, down to the most minuscule details. Because their parts are so much smaller than the everyday things that we are used to, they are a million times faster than the moving parts that we are familiar with. But being small they can’t change anything for something large like the human. This is why many of these little nanomachines would be needed at the same time in order to do something for a human being. In the spring of 1988, Eric Drexler taught the first formal course in nanotechnology while visiting Stanford University. He suggested the possibility of nano-sized objects that alone can replicate itself in an expedient manner by with simply fuels and some other raw materials which can be found in the first machine itself. With each new nanomachine replicating itself, there would be a whole group of nanomachines that can then carry out complex procedures. He also came up with an idea on building nanocomputers that would not work electrically, but it would have several mechanical parts in motion. It will be faster due to the fact that the information inside the computer only has to move such tiny spaces. Therefore, these nanocomputers will be able to understand one billion instructions a second. also Software composed of artificial intelligence would allow surgical procedures to be incredibly precise on a molecular level. However, benefits of Cancel Cancer compared to chemotherapy are that it won’t leave the patient with a weakened immune system or extremely exhausted. Also, it will only kill cancerous cells and not harm the healthy cells. By simply drinking a solution containing nano devices, the side-effects of chemotherapy will be diminished.

Biotechnology

Nanophase materials may give researchers control over interactions with biological entities (such as proteins and cells) in ways previously unimaginable with conventional materials. This is because organs of the body are nanostructures and, thus, cells in the body are accustomed to interacting with materials that have nano structured features. Over the past two years, Purdue has provided significant evidence to the research community that nanophase materials can be designed to control interactions with proteins and subsequently mammalian cells for more efficient tissue regeneration. This has been demonstrated for a wide range of nanophase material chemistries including ceramics, polymers, and more recently metals. Such investigations are leading to the design of a number of more successful tissue-engineering materials for orthopedic/dental, vascular, neural, bladder, and cartilage applications. In all applications, compared to conventional materials, the fundamental design parameter necessary to increase tissue regeneration is a surface with a large degree of biologically-inspired nano structured roughness. In this manner, results from the present collection of studies have added increased tissue-regeneration as another novel property of nanophase materials.

Benefits

Heals body much quicker than other methods Is cheaper and safer than organ transplants Ideal for external areas of body (cornea, skin)

Nano metrology

Nanometrology involves high precision measurement techniques combined with nano-positioning systems to measure. Capabilities and applications in nanometrology are based on Differential Capacitance Micrometry. Current applications in Nanometrology are :

Precision Deformation Measurement

It is a analysis of shape alteration induced by causes natural or artificial.It is used to identify weaknesses or failure risks resulting from thermal stress before physical damage actually occurs in fields such as mining and tectonics.

Precision Displacement Measurement

Gravity Gradiometer

Gravity gradiometry is used by oil, gas and mining companies to measure the density of the subsurface, effectively the rate of change of rock properties. From this information it is possible to build a picture of subsurface anomalies which can then be used to more accurately target oil, gas and mineral deposits.

The Capacitance Micrometry technology was originally developed in the mid seventies and uses relative position measurement within a locally defined reference standard. It can be configured to allow picometre resolution over a one hundred micron range or used at lower resolution over larger dynamic range.

The exploration industry has recently renewed interest in obtaining gravity data sets at high speed over highly prospective areas thus renewing demand for airborne gravity facilities providing measurements from low flying aircraft at a rate and sensitivity suitable for the detection of small and lenticular mineral orebodies within burial rates of 300m.

EARTH STRAIN MEASUREMENT

A Nanometrics Instrumentation Application

Monitoring of strains

The Earth Strain Measurement a project within nanometrics instrumentation Group provides precision strain monitoring systems for long term monitoring of mining induced strain variations at selected points at underground or opencut mining operations. Instruments allow continuous monitoring of tensor plane strain within the range of 10-3 to 10-9. The technology was originally developed for earthquake strain monitoring applications requiring extremely high sensitivity, stability and dynamic range, but is now used in minescale monitoring environments.

After alteration ( usage of nano computers)

This technique will be used to measure loads induced in highwall mining or in the walls of deep open pit mining operations. Key advantages include

the ability to measure the mine scale engineering induced strain response of large structures from significant distances, that loads induced by slow creep processes over large areas can be monitored

eg :( pit slope stability, subsidence).

long term slow deformations can be monitored with high reliability. elastic failure processes can be monitored. The operations can be performed

remotely without any disturbance to mining processes. Direct estimates of the effects of blasts on wall loading can be measured, as can the

subsequent creep and slump processes. For mining applications strain monitoring complements micro seismic monitoring

which more than adequately documents (location and amplitude) the elastic failure and stress concentration processes.

Food &Drug synthesis

Nano computers are predicted to have fast circuitry implying unimaginable high speed. Such computers can be used to simulate our world at both molecular and atmospheric level. In such a world, drugs could be developed and tested on simulated bodies, until perfect drug is obtained for original person. Same goes with food.

Filtration of images

When light reaches a telescope, with its own aberrations and distortions, you can see what is happening on that side of solar system ,if we can see past the distortions.now suppose you sent a copy of image to a computer,bounced another copy of image off our little deformable mirror and recombined them in a way that cancelled the distortion. This could be the basis for an adaptive optical system.
