Nano-Drones Coming Soon





















Predator drones, like the one reported to have killed Pakistan Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud a few days ago, could soon be used to "swarm" targets and will also come in much larger and smaller packages, including moth-size "nano"-drones (aka Nano Air Vehicle or NAV), that can enter and spy inside buildings.

"War with the Robots," anyone? (Harry Harrison's forward-thinking 1962 short story and book.)

  1. I love it. Micheal Chricton(sp?) was right. Feyneman is the new "Einstein". there is the potential for much MORE in the nano-Universe, such as nano-BlackHoles, nano-Time Machines, Nano-Fission reactors. Nano-Solar Power etc. Nano-Robotic Surgeons
