The smart nano robot is a nano-sized gold and titanium-based robot that goes after tumors and kills cancer cells immediately after being injected into human bodies. Ultrasonic dynamical treatment technology generates “reactive oxygen species,” a molecule containing oxygen with high chemical reactivity, and selectively releases them to tumor regions, thereby treating the tumors without surgery.
