Nanorobots When and how? In about 10-20 years but we do not know how they will be like. We presume them to be like natural nanomechines (e.g. mitochondria) Freitas Artistic Concept Harvard University ‘s bipedal, autonomous DNA "walker"

Lab On A Chip ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Already here and commercial during 2012 from SMARTBIOMEMS EU funded project: Microfluidic lab on a chip system for on site TP53 gene testing from sample tissue. You will only need a sterilized blender 
