Mouse fibroblast, «tattooed» with gold nanodots. Color accent added in a graphics editor.
In anticipation of a future where we will be fully utilizing nanotechnology, scientists are coating cells with gold nanodots and nanowires. #Nanotechnology #Bioelectronics #Science

The Law of Digital #Resurrection | Boston College Law Review

The digital right to be dead has yet to be recognized as an important legal right. #AI , augmented reality, and #nanotechnology have progressed to the point that personal data can be used to resurrect the #deceased in digital form with appearance, voice, emotion, and memory recreated to allow interaction with a digital app, #chat bot, or avatar that may be indistinguishable from that with a living person.

@wilbowma I'm reminded of how K. Eric Drexler resented how dishonest academics diluted the definition of “nanotechnology” in the late 1990s from “atomically precise manufacturing” to “anything 100 nanometers or smaller”. See “Radical Abundance” (2013). Basically, research grants were being farmed by dishonest graduate students casting their funding nets wide by passing their irrelevant work as something it was not. E.g. nanoscale films and colloids. https://search.worldcat.org/title/808413623 #apm #nanotechnology

Researchers develop nanoparticles that deliver mRNA directly to the pancreas

A breakthrough in our understanding of mRNA delivery systems in the body may allow for more direct treatments for pancreas-related diseases, including cancer and diabetes.
