Advanced Functional Nanorobots project is to create an excellent team which will develop a new category of nanotechnologies.
dynamic nanosystems. All nanotechnologies developed so far were essentially static. Here the excellent team should pose a new paradigm in nanotechnologies – autonomous nano-devices gathering energy from their surrounding,
being navigated, able to swarm round and selectively search for specific cells or chemical species. These mobile, self-moving and self-organizing nanorobots will carry chemical functional groups to be employed in nanomedicinal applications such as targeted cancer treatment, drug delivery within the organisms as well as active de-contamination during environmental accidents. A crucial aspect of the project is signing up a key foreign researcher (KFR) from Singapore to the Czech Republic, engagement of other excellent scientists as well as the education of young researchers.
