Nanomedicine (book)

Nanomedicine is a technical book series by Robert Freitas. It is the first thorough analysis of possible applications of MNT to nanomedicine and analyzes a wide range of possible nanotechnology-based medical devices, and explains the relevant science behind their design. It is also the first thorough technical discussion of specific nanorobot subsystems, including sensors, power sources, methods for communication and navigation, and various means for manipulation and locomotion by nanorobots.
