How to make nanomachines?

Viruses can be used to creating nanomachines

The difference between nano- and biotechnology is that another technology creates artificial organisms and other extremely small machines, but the technology would be similar in both cases. Nanomachines would allow creating artificial DNA, and the difference with nanomachines and cells is, that the cells would breed the population autonomous, what makes them dangerous. But if the nanomachines would be released, those machines can kill the very large group of animals and humans, because they can just make multiple holes in the cells, and turn targeted animal as the liquid.

The thing, what might interest people is, how to make nanomachines. The size of the nanomachines is the level of the atom and in the actions, where the precision, what is needed is that the single atoms would move in space, is the situation, where the instruments must be extremely small size, and in this case, the usage of multiple methods is only effective thing. When the nanomachines are made the thing, what interests researchers, is to make tools, what shape is simple because they are wanted to create tools, what is used to making the nanomachines and smaller tools for making smaller and smaller groups of atoms.

One of the most interesting thing, what the researchers found, was the virus, what seems like the moon module. In this case, the genomes of those viruses would be terminated, and in the top of those "legs" would put the piece of iron or gold. And after that, the electricity would be connected to them, what allows to use the virus as the crane. Also, the DNA bites, where is connected the iron, can be used as the miniaturized pincers.

Also, the carbon chains, what are cut in the form of the pincers allows creating the atom size forms. In this technology, the most important thing, what is used is the so-called "Casimir effect", that means that the atoms are actually laying over the layer. The system works that the atom, what wanted to move would conduct the electricity, and that will pull the pincers to it, and allows to move them in one and one. For the mass production of the nanomachines must make many of those atomically sized pincers. The electromagnetic radiation would shoot the atom like the billiard ball to the working area, and then the pincers would start to make complicated nanomachines. The magnetic field can use to create 2D parts for the machines, but for the 3D form is quite difficult.

The process would happen under the surveillance of the optical or electron microscopes and also scanning tunnel microscope would be used for observation and surveillance for the process. But when we are thinking about the possibility to create the artificial DNA, what means the possibility to making artificial animals and improve ourselves, would this technology allow creating more intelligent and more sophisticated versions of the animals and human. And maybe in some laboratories have been created the animals, what has the same level of intelligence with humans, and maybe in some laboratories have been made DNA, where the genome, what makes us intelligent would be doubled.

Or the genome, what controls the advantage of the human brain network would be replaced with the genomes, what makes the bug's brains networking. If the human brains would be networking with the similar way with the bugs, that human would be more intelligent than the normal human. In this case in fact, if our brains or neurons would create a similar network with bugs, we would not need bigger brains what hazels are.  And this kind of things opens the fascinating but at the same time terrible visions of the nano- and biotechnology.

By using that kind of technology, we can create intelligent macrophages, what would use the destroy the cancer cells and that technology would also help people to create artificial neurons, what would help us to fix the destroyed brain tissue. But in fact, we can create dogs, cats, and birds, what have the same intelligence level what we have. In the case of the intelligent macrophages, we can create ultimate weapon against cancer and many diseases. The intelligent macrophage can carry the infected cell to the sanitary system of the body before the viruses would be releases, but this technology would be very dangerous in the wrong hands.

And in my opinion, creating the dog, what has the same intelligence level with humans is not actually, what we might think as the reasonable way to use nanotechnology. Intelligent cells can also interest the military and another kind of organizations. They can be used as the perfect biological weapons or creation of the next generation biological microprocessors. But in the last case, that kind of machine, what is using neurons should cause the discussion about the line between the human and machine. Also, intelligent animals would cause the situation, that the line between human and animal must estimate again. And there is very much resistance against this kind of technology.
