	Trapholt - Nanobots
		Nanobots is an interactive installation intended to involve the visitors in an experience of being pursued and monitored by robots.
		Nanobots has been created by the German group of artists, BBM, as a contribution to the debate on surveillance of the human body.
		Nanobots is the artists’ attempt to translate such theories to a room of experiences.

	Nanorobot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A nanobot is a nanotechnological robot nanomachine, also called a nanite, which is a mechanical or electromechanical device whose dimensions are measured in nanometres (millionths of a millimeter, or units of 10
		These nanorobot swarms, both those which are incapable of replication (as in utility fog) and those which are capable of unconstrained replication in the natural environment (as in grey goo and its less common variants) are found in many science fiction stories, such as the nanoprobes in Star Trek and nanobots in Andromeda.
		The word "nanobot" (also "nanite", "nanot", "nanogene", "sub-atomic robot", or "microbot") is often used to indicate this fictional context and is an informal or even pejorative term to refer to the engineering concept of nanorobots.

	Telegraph \| Connected \| Could nanobots destroy us?
		The nanobots are coming - a swarm of invisible machines that consume all in their path to build more of their kind, eventually subsuming the world in a grey tide.
		Thus a nanobot would not have a smooth surface, like the ones we are familiar with, but an eggbox-like texture.
		Unless the nanobot works in a vacuum, it would be buffeted by air molecules, as well as those of whatever it is grazing on.

	Nanotechnology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Here, science has reached a point at which the boundaries separating discrete disciplines become blurred, and it is for precisely this reason that nanotechnology is also referred to as a convergent technology.
		An often cited worst-case scenario is "grey goo", a hypothetical substance into which the surface objects of the earth might be transformed by self-replicating nanobots running amok, a process which has been termed global ecophagy.

	Nanobots
		Nanobots will need to be built an atom or molecule at a time, or by beams "painting" with metals and hard oxides, or by custom enzymes acting as construction hands for us, or by much smaller lithography (printing) than we do now.
		Flexible nanobots you can "talk to" and re-program to do different jobs are much farther in the future, and it is anybody's guess whether arbitrarily programmable behavior will be built in bio-organisms or inorganic nano-machines first.
		Nanobots are all surface and almost no volume, so they will be extremely weak in stored power, and tend to be "tactile" about what they do.

	Halfbakery: Nanobots 3D Display aka Shape Shifting
		Nanobots 3D Display is the true 3D simulator that doesn’t rely on optical illusion.
		This 8 polygon-pixels resolution prototype consists of 8 such nanobots that are capable of arranging themselves on command in space, and therefore simulating objects in 3D.
		As for giving intelligence to the nanobots, most of the computation will be done externally, and the information is beamed directly into the nanos.

	The Nanotechnology Myth
		Nanobots would most likely be even slower than the aforementioned technologies; electroplating and nickel vapour deposition pour on atoms as quickly as they can bond to the underlying material, and nanobots would only add complexity to this process.
		In other words, the normal radiative heat flux on the tiny shell of an exposed nanobot in space (depending on its proximity to the nearest star) might very well be enough to fry its innards (this is a problem for the idea of solar-powered nanobots in space; their fuel source may destroy them).
		Nanobots would still be vulnerable to various countermeasures, it's difficult to tell whether an area is clean, and it would be difficult to regain control if they get out of containment, thus forcing you to employ the same countermeasures yourself.

		After destroying the earth, all it would take is one meteor to collide with the mass of nanobots and eject a single nanobot into space, which would later be sucked in by the pull of another planet and restart the process...
		The difference between nanobots and dna is that dna is very fussy about the conditions required for replication.
		The only way to stop the nanobots would be to build a different one which would break down the existing nanobots (and not be broken down by the existing nanobots).

	Nanotechnology: Nanobots Not Needed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Nanobots are not needed for manufacturing, but continued misunderstanding may hinder research into highly beneficial technologies and discussion of the real dangers.
		But all these ideas merged with the nanobot concept, plus a heavy dose of science fiction, to create the idea of a single machine that could do it all—and might run wild, turning the world into a “gray goo” of self-copies.
		In the long term, some products of molecular manufacturing systems could be nanobots (e.g., for medical use), but these are not envisioned to be metabolizing or self-replicating (at least not by credible researchers).

	ISP301: Timothy Dillon
		The term nanobot comes from the nanometer which is one billionth of a meter.
		Nanobots have a wide range of use in almost any technological application including a rather scary thought of human-machine melding.
		The plan is to program the nanobot's software for self-destruction after so many nanobots are created, if too many nanobots are in the same vicinity, or based on other conditions that fit the job site.

		Nanobots Not Needed, declares the Center for Responsible Nanotechnology.
		The word "nanobot" is often used as a term of derision by those who now set the agenda, but CRN needs to get a bit of perspective and stop hanging around those who only speak nanotech-ese.
		Nanobot is a cool word (if I do say so myself), and it should be embraced when speaking to the general public.

	Nanotechnology Special
		Nanobots are the workhorses of the nano-manufacturing world. They are, as the name implies, nanometer-scale robots that use tiny arms to pick up and move atoms and tiny electronic brains to direct the process. There are two basic types of nanobots: general assemblers and a special class of assemblers known as self-replicators.
		Everything in the physical world is made of atoms. Nanobots manipulate atoms. Thus nanobots could in principle make anything from apples to airplanes. Nanobots will probably be made from carbon nanotubes, a new form of carbon that is astonishingly versatile.
		Specialized nanobots dumped into an oil spill, a toxic-waste site or even a polluted stream could seek out and find dangerous molecules, remover them or change their chemical structure one by one to render them harmless - or even beneficial.

	Getting Real (Over Coffee): The Nanobots are Coming
		Within 20 years, Kurzweil says advances in nanotechnology, the science of the extremely tiny, will have permitted the creation microscope robots that can be injected into the bloodstream and repair any tissue.
		Nanobots, as he calls them, which will be about the size of a red blood cell, can be injected by the millions into the bloodstream where they will go around and repair anything within us that is damaged.
		Although most people say they do not want to die, most people accept it as inevitable and would be loathe to extend their lives much beyond current limits.

		This tendency of the nanobots to try to emulate humans is considered to be a big problem, and, therefore, Dr. Richards is disgusted when it happens once again.
		She zaps the nanobots with a charge of electricity, causing them to return to their dust-like state, and then leaves the room in disgust.
		After she leaves the room, the nanobots take the opportunity to break out of the containment vessel and flow out of the lab through the air ducts.

		Millions of these nanobots are in contact with one another, and with brain cells, creating a secondary gestalt mind.
		One of the problems with using arterial submarine-like nanobots, is that the very fast flowing blood/plasma current would push them downstream, out of control.
		One way to solve this problem is to have some of the nanobots stick to the walls of arteries by using sticker feet; hence StickerBots.

		If this is true then when the crew is resurrected by the nanobots there should be 2 Kochanskis, the original and the one from the other dimension.
		Could it be that as the nanobots are fully aware that there is already a Kochanski on board (albeit not the original)they simply didn't see the need to recreate another copy of her?Maybe they realised they'd caused enough trouble already.
		The nanobots could have taken that data and dropped it into the brains of the bodies they made for the people.

	Corporate Mentality by Steven Piziks - Baen Books
		Lance Michaels was a very valuable person, since he had grown up with a body filled with "nanobots", which he could send out of his body in invisible swarms, still under his control, and reprogram a rogue "hive" out of existence.
		Sent to defuse a hive that has taken over an entire planet, he finds that a psychotic child with control over nanobots like his own is controlling the hive, and she takes Lance over, and prepares to send nanobots out from the planet to control the entire human-occupied galaxy.
		They have not only inherited their father's mental control of nanobots, but can also download their personalities into the nanobots and swap personalities at will.

		The idea of nanobots, or self-assembling machines, is not fiction, but it is as yet an unproven idea.
		That is why we have nothing to fear from the technology being produced in the nanobiotech sector from companies such as Flamel Technologies (Nasdaq: FLML) with Medusa, American Pharmaceutical Partners (Nasdaq: APPX) with Abraxane, Advanced Magnetics (AMEX: AVM) with Combidex, and others with their patented nanobio developments.
