Solving Memory Loss with Nanotechnology in Sleep

Type: Medical
Project Members: Katlyn Malone
Date: Summer 2013

Mentor identified [Dr. Agarwal from IUPUI Nanotechnology]

This project skillfully solves the problem of memory loss due to sleep deprivation. Based on previous information, tests show that a lack of sleep could possibly be a major cause of memory loss. This project proposes the idea of using nanotechnology as a solution. Nanotechnology is a growing field that opens doors to solutions of multiple complications of problems today. Before going into nanotechnology, one be introduced to the nano-scale. A nanometer is one billionth of a meter. Nanometers are so small that an electron microscope is needed to visibly see them. Nanobots can be programed to carry out specific tasks such a giving dosages of medicine.
