3. History  Concept by Richard Feynman  Termed “nanotechnology”  Wrote the book on nanosystems Developed by Eric Drexler

4. History Continued…  Created what is known today as molecular manufacturing  Gained support and acknowledgment for his work  Led the way for nanobots

5. Uses  Nanobots have many different uses Attacks tumors Clean out arteries Look inside deep parts of your body Can even detect certain diseases at an early stage

6. Future Developments  Include responses to Heat Light Sounds Suface textures Chemicals  Nanobts will be able to ○ Move and communicate with each other ○ Replicate and repair themselves
