What will a nanobot look like

The largest free UK Science Festival returns with more than 150 events over two weeks. What will a nanobot look like is part of the Spotlight on Science lecture series.


Will it be the shrunken submarine envisaged by Hollywood? Unlikely, but what will it be? Something like a bacterium (such as e. coli) or a sperm. Both of these have a propulsion mechanism, a capsule containing a chemical payload and a system of sensors. It will be something soft and wet, just like biology, and built from polymers. Professor Tony Ryan, University of Sheffield, will give the 2010 Alex Hopkins Lecture.
