2. nice! that’s pretty cool. And if we consider it just an initial technological step, what other advancements could be down the line? that’s good news.

   • Good news, for certain. I’m just amazed that we’re already using nanomachines to cure cancer. I mean, excuse me for a moment while I sit down.

     • though, I wouldn’t say they’re nearly as complex as your post icon, as really it seems all they do is release the drug once swallowed by the cancer cell. It sounds like the antibodies surrounding are what take it to its destination… still, having effective machines that small programmed and working? :o

       • :) The icon is an artist’s rendition of nanomachines.

         • I gathered that ;)
           but they’re not far off now I’m sure

3. “The method uses nanotechnology, which involves micro-machines far smaller than a human cell.”

   • You know, they used to use the fastest talking man for their commercials – maybe now they’ll use the fastest txt typist, eh?
