The Air Force Has a Healing Nanotech Laser

[Danpascooch]

Nanotechnology has had a lot of issues. It can actually cause cancer, but I haven't heard anything about nanotechnology's uses like this causing problems.

Nanotechnology just means "small technology"

How does making things tiny cause cancer? Lol

Have you ever heard of asbestos? Asbestos as its removed the stuff breaks apart gets breathed in and it causes cancer. You know small stuff. LOL

Or if industrial material isn't common enough for you.LOL

You see this is where i post one of those let me google that for you because thats all you had to do. Nanotechnology cancer close to 2millions results. Please don't open your mouth unless you know what your talking about. I've heard about the possible problems with this technology, I'm training to be a biomechanical engineer, and this interests me. Next time don't be so smug unless you know what your talking about. LOL!!!!

Nanotechnology is a whole subset of technology, it just means "small technology", there is nothing inherently cancer causing about small technology.

What you said is like concluding that Large Objects cause cancer because the sun is big, and UV rays can cause skin cancer. When you look at a category as big as nanotechnology, and how many things are linked to cancer nowadays, it's no surprise that a couple cause cancer, I would hardly conclude that "small technology" as a whole "can cause cancer" as a general attribute of the category, as you seemed to insinuate, so I still believe my post was justified. There are a hell of a lot of things that generate a lot of google results, I wouldn't generalize nanotechnology as a "cancer causer" because of it.

The funny thing is, I didn't even mean to be smug, but that post was so dripping with malice that I felt the need to respond.

I'm sorry if I offended you, but Jesus, I think that might have been a LITTLE bit of an overreaction.

Why not stick that in hospitals, too? That'd save many lives.

nooooooh cause the evil hospitals for normal people would use it for evil and terrorist stuff

you do know were talking about america right?

Logic just doesn't apply here, I mean come on ... It had to be invented for the military?? otherwise we wouldn't have done it wtf is up with that?

That's been a long standing tradition, and it isn't just the American military. Many things we deal with these days have their military origins. It's mostly because the military has the deepest pocketbooks, and all you have to do to sell the idea is convince them it will be useful to them. Then after they get to play with it and when it gets declassified, then the private sector gets to play with it, and it won't even cost as much. Except the humvee...that seems to only work best in the military.
If the FDA does pass this, it actually shouldn't even be five to ten years after that before they begin trials in select hospitals in their emergency rooms.

You where being smug to say the least when you LOL at someone because small machines don't cause cancer, your inferring that i'm making some type of outlandsih statement that nanosized particles that are synthetically produced cause cancer, but its not outlandish because its true. If you read the links then you would see this: "when ingested can cause DNA damage that can prefigure cancer and heart and brain disease."

When something has a history of manipulating DNA it stands to possiblity that something based off the same reasearch might also cause cancer. There is very little information that i can find regarding this device, but from my reasoning the the device speeds up cell division. What makes this cell division stop once the tissue has been replaced?

Yeah I used nanotechnology as a cause of cancer because all its uses thus far, from what i've seen, have the possibility to cause cancer. Now i would like for you to use my definition for nanotechnology up there, nano sized synthetically produced particles, instead of small things. I don't know it just seems more accurate and closer to what i was talking about.

Apology accepted and i'm also sorry.

Ha FDA approval, billions of dollars and 5 years later we might get to use it in limited circumstances. And people wonder why drugs are expensive when they come out.

 

[Deleted]

Every TF2 related joke has been made already, dammit.

 

[ShadowKirby]

Attach that laser to an airship and you've got yourself a Terran Medivac.

 

[Sir Kemper]

"Get over here, Schvinehunds, I promise I veel Heal you..."

 

[SirDerick]

TF2 is getting closer to reality.

I for one am not complaining.

Actually, Reality is now aware of the awesomeness that is TF2 and is working to be more like it.

And I'm not complaining.

 

[Last Bullet]

Next step: Ubercharge.

I have one utter want in my life now. Once, just once. I want to hear an actual EMT use the word "Ubercharge" with a straight face.

 

[Miral]

Actually the first thing I thought of was the medical devices in Star Trek (particularly TNG and later). But then I haven't actually played TF2. (I do have it though. Yay bundles.)

Logic just doesn't apply here, I mean come on ... It had to be invented for the military?? otherwise we wouldn't have done it wtf is up with that?

Cell phones? Military. GPS? Military. Computers? Military. The Internet? Military. Like it or not, just about all the cool toys were developed for military use originally, then bubbled down to the rest of us later on.

This reminds of this one case during the cold war where the US spent over 10 million dollars on a state of the art pen that worked in zero gravity situation so that the American astronauts could use pens in outer space just like they could back on Earth, but the Soviets who weren't willing to waste millions on new pens simply threw away their pens and started to use pencils instead!

Fuck yeah, the future is here.

"Well it looks like healthcare has arrived *puts on glasses* at the speed of light."

 

[Cowabungaa]

I'll be waiting for the first field-medic who'll shout IMA CHAAAARGIN MAH LAZOOOOOR!!! And then saves a life with it.

Also, all the TF2 references give me a warm feeling. I love you guys.

 

[Exterminas]

So, they invented a light-reactive glue? Amazing.

There is a HUGE difference between a closed, aka glued wound and a healed one.

 

[The Infinite]

"Doctor! We are pinned down by sniper rifle fire! Deploy the Ubercharge!"
Teehee. In all seriousness though, that's damn awesome, though sounds more like Medigel with a laser beam acting as a catalyst. Still very cool stuff.

 

[ssgt splatter]

NIIIICE! It looks like the Pentagon is taking a cue from Starcraft 2. The Terrans have a unit called the medivac and from videos online it seems to do the exact same thing. Kick-ass!

I thought you were broadly categorizing it as cancer, I misunderstood, sorry.

Being civil is FUN!

 

[TheDoctor455]

TF2 is getting closer to reality.

I for one am not complaining.

Next up:
watches that turn you invisible, and a cigarette box capable of storing and instantly applying several different disguises.

Its like the real life equivalent of the class updates.

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

Is it just me or does this seem like the medigel from ME except medigel is a biologically made compound while this has artificial elements.

 

[Alar]

Have I mentioned that this is perhaps one of the coolest medical advancements I've seen in the past few months? Because it is. It definitely is.

Not only is it cool, but it has very positive applications. I hope we can see these out in hospitals soon, or maybe sold-for-home versions?

EDIT: ONE HUNDRETH POOOOOST!
