  Nanoprobe - Memory Alpha, the Star Trek Wiki
Nanoprobes are microscopic robotic devices designed by the Borg for the primary purpose of assimilation.
Nanoprobes can also be modified to attack specific cells which contain a virus or some other disease and so help the patient recover.
In 2375, Seven of Nine encoded some of her nanoprobes to assimilate the synthehol molecules in Kadi Ambassador Tomin's bloodstream, allowing him to recover from his intoxication in time to return to his people.

 GRC | 's NanoProbe Technology  
Beyond this, the NanoProbe Technology is a prerequisite for the deployment of many other related GRC initiatives such as the Spoofarino end-user source IP spoofing test, and several future editions of the LeakTest personal firewall testing tool.
Our NanoProbe Technology employs its "bit-level" hand crafted NanoProbe generation capability to launch IP packets carrying source IP addresses which are both deliberately known, and unknown, to the host's protective firewall and/or NAT router.
The NanoProbe Technology, which operates by creating and maintaining an active connection to the probe target throughout the testing, renders this new system absolutely spoof proof through the use of the RSVP Agent system.

 Optical and MRI multifunctional nanoprobe for targeting gliomas.
A multifunctional nanoprobe capable of targeting glioma cells, detectable by both magnetic resonance imaging and fluorescence microscopy, was developed.
The nanoprobe was synthesized by coating iron oxide nanoparticles with covalently bound bifunctional poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) polymer, which were subsequently functionalized with chlorotoxin and the near-infrared fluorescing molecule Cy5.5.
Such a nanoprobe could potentially be used to image resections of glioma brain tumors in real time and to correlate preoperative diagnostic images with intraoperative pathology at cellular-level resolution.

 GRC | The NanoProbe RSVP Agent Technology     (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Upon receipt of the client's ACK, the NanoProbe server utilizes the GENESIS technology to cryptographically authenticate the received ACK and, presuming that the ACK is valid, to create an active client connection.
To exploit the "man in the middle" (MITM) position, and cause the NanoProbe server to test the security of an unsuspecting client, a fake RSVP Agent would be somehow inserted into the network flow so that ALL network traffic flowing to and from the client could be examined and perhaps modified by the MITM.
This is further complicated by the fact that the NanoProbe server utilizes a new technology called "differential IP analysis" which originates testing packets from multiple IP addresses to analyze the client's responses to IP addresses with which it has no existing relationship.

The nanoprobe utilizes the specificity and selectivity of the DNA hairpin probe sequence to detect a specific target DNA sequence of interest.
Upon hybridization of a complementary target DNA sequence to the nanoprobe, the stem-loop configuration is disrupted, causing the Raman label to physically separate from the metal nanoparticle, thus quenching the SERS signal.

 Abstract
A hard x-ray nanoprobe beamline is being developed at the Advanced Photon Source (APS).
It uses x-ray fluorescence for trace-element mapping and spectroscopy; x-ray diffraction to obtain local structural information such as crystallographic phase, strain texture, and x-ray transmission in phase; and absorption to image internal structures of complex devices [1].
The high-precision positioning mechanisms for the nanoprobe presented here consist of the following major component groups: a granite base with vibration isolators, an optomechanical instrument vacuum chamber, a robotic detector manipulator for microdiffraction, an in situ optical microscope, and a translation-stage system for a transmission imaging detector [2].
