Nano applications
Pollution control
And it's not just building new things. Nanites can rearrange what is already around. One quite exciting possibility is pollution control
For example, nanites could be designed to harvest heavy metals and toxic chemicals from polluted sites
They could be seeded into the upper atmosphere to repair the holes in the ozone layer
And since they can make just about anything, large unsightly factories and manufacturing plants may well be made obsolete
Medical applications
As well as repairing the environment, eventually there might be nanites that could repair you.
For example, some cancers may due to some damage in the cells. Nanites could fix the damage
Some heart disease is caused by build up of cholesterol in the arteries. Nanites could be put in your blood to go and scrub the artery walls clean
Many diseases are caused by errors in the DNA. Nanites could fix erroneous DNA, and could monitor cell division and fix any copying problems
Some people are even talking about complete designer bodies, eventually
