Chemist Bernard Feringa, who received this year's Nobel Prize, said that humanity should not be afraid of the uprising of the nanomachines he created.
At a recent press conference, Feringa answered journalists' questions, explaining that today nanomachines are completely dependent on an external source of energy, which means that they are simply not able to work independently and make decisions. According to the 1986 concept, invented by physicist Eric Drexler, working on the creation of nanorobots could lead to the fact that they will cause the "end of the world." Consuming all living things, multiplying uncontrollably, robots, according to the physicist, can destroy the planet and the people living on it.
Bernard Feringa is the creator of many nanomachines, so he boldly declares that modern developments are too primitive to "take over the world." In the future, when scientists can make machines work like the cells of a human body, they will definitely work out the issue of safety, so you should not be afraid of the embodiment of fantastic scenarios in life. So far, the created nanorobots are being tested, like other chemical compounds, for toxicity and other dangerous properties.
