Nanotechnology: Hacking Humans, Its Potential, and Real Risks
Science fiction has become a reality with recent developments toward biohacking through nanotechnology.
Soon, science and industries may soon realize the potential of human hacking… but at what risk versus reward? Medical nanotechnology is one of these such topics.
Many experts believe nanotechnology will pave the way for a bright, new future in improving our wellbeing. Yet, at the core of this biohacking are machines and as we’ve seen with other technologies — there are very real risks of malicious intent. In this video, we share some of the applications being developed combining nanotechnology and medicine.
We also look at the potential risks found in the practice and how we may mitigate issues before they’re problematic.
We also share how companies can reduce security flaws and curb public perception so the nanotechnology industry can flourish without major setbacks.

The NFT Bubble Has Already Burst
The NFT market was heating up faster than Steph Curry in an open gym, but it appears to have already burst.
Thanks to the research by the crew at Protos, they found that The NFT market has imploded over the past month, with sales in every single category almost entirely drying up.
NFTs peaked on May 3, when $102 million worth were sold in a single day. The crypto-collectibles market made up $100 million of those sales.
But according to data analyzed by Protos, just $19.4 million in NFT sales were processed in the past week.
Overall, $170 million in NFTs were transacted in the seven days surrounding the market’s top — a near-90% collapse.
CryptoPunks have been selling for as much as $7.5 million each, with many going for over $1 million.
NBA Top Shots selling for multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars. And many collectible NFT’s going for just as much.
