How does it work? Nanotechnology involves the control of nano-materials and nano-devices, depending on the tools and methods for manipulation at the nanoscale. There is incredible potential in the manipulation of each molecular species, though at this stage it is still very difficult. But it is not far away. We are already making progress in the research of molecular energy and brain tumors, in optical research, and other areas.
As an example of some of the newer imaging research, broadband Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS) micro-spectroscopy is beginning to make an impact after more than a decade of instrument and method development. CARS can rapidly generate high-resolution images with high quality abilities. Raman spectroscopy is a laser-based technique that can be used to nondestructively differentiate molecules based on the inelastic scattering of light. While most of the existing instruments are prototypes being used in research projects, it appears that the relevant technologies are maturing at a rate that will allow commercially available instruments in the foreseeable future, making these remarkable imaging modalities widely available to clinicians.

There are advances in the surgical management of brain tumors, that are achieving more optimal surgical results. However, there is much more work to be done in order to identify and destroy tumors. Certainly, as the science matures, it will become an important component for identifying residual tumor and improving the surgical management of brain tumors.
There are other advances in various specialties, and we are now at a tipping point where we realize that energy medicine will be making great strides in the future. We want to be aware of it and learn all we can in order to be prepared for what we can count on—exciting developments in energy medicine.
