Nanobot Project: The Nick of Time
By: Nicholas Dalquest
2
What is Nanotechnology?
Nanotechnology is new and innovative technology that works on smaller than a microscopic level. Nanotechnology is usually smaller than 100 nanometers. It is like normal technology as it can perform the same functions at a really small level.
3
So, How small is a nanometer?
To put it in terms you would know, if a nanometer was the size of a football, then a human would be half the size of the sun.
4
Where is nanotechnology being used today?
Nanotechnology has many functions. Nanotechnology can be used from improving health and fitness (bandages with silver nanoparticles to heal cuts faster) to making stain proof khakis.
5
Importance of Nanotechnology
Humans have been accustomed to looking at the big picture but nanotechnology focuses on the small things. This technology allows us to focus at a more molecular and atomic level. Nanotechnology can be used to get rid of diseases, bacteria and viruses. They can attack each individual cell instead of us using chemicals to attack all cells.

My Nanobot The Nick of time

The Grand Challenge The Grand Challenge of Engineering The Nick of Time faces is enhancing virtual reality. The function of The Nick of Time is to change the person’s perception of time. Gamma –Amino butyric acid, or GABA, and norepinephrine (a chemical similar to epinephrine a.k.a adrenaline) are neurotransmitters that affect how fast the synapses in your brain react. GABA slows down the neural processes and therefore speeds up your perception of time. Norepinephrine speeds up the neural processes in your brain and therefore slows down your perception of time.
8
Uses of the Nick of time The Nick of Time can help many things: from menial tasks such as wanting class to go by faster to important tasks such as needing time to go slower to rescue people from a burning building. The Nick of Time is safe and totally harmless and can be used by anyone and everyone.
9
How it functions The Nick of Time works by injecting several million nanobots into the bloodstream. By means of remote radio control, a signal to the nanobots which receive it by the radio receptor. This starts the motor, which in turn, opens the valve at the top or bottom.

The Nick of time Support and Storage Parts
Norepinephrine is stored in the top of the hourglass and GABA is stored in the bottom.
