Wanna play games with nanotechnology? PlayGen and Cientifica have made available playable demo of NanoMission. With NanoMission players get to learn about the basic concepts in nanoscience with the aid of real world practical applications ranging from microelectronics to drug delivery.
The game is in a demo version in which the first module, nanomedicine asks the players to select a suitable vehicle for delivering anti cancer compound and then navigating through the bloodstream to the site of the tumor and in the process avoids the natural defense mechanism of the body.
Nanomission demonstrates how nano scientists are gaining from nature for production of viable drug delivery mechanism for the market of today. With the interest of students declining in general science subjects, PlayGen has made an effort towards familiarizing students with nanotechnology and inspiring them to adopt nanotechnology as a career. With the game specifically targeted at teenagers it would certainly help in creating an interest in this new technology. Visit nanomission.org for more details.
