Abstract

In this paper, we try to transport quantum dots of non-fading nano material consisting of cadmium telluride to the target site using C. eleagans which is a kind of linear animal as a bioactuator. C. elegans is widely used as a model organism because it is easy to observe by having a transparent body with a body length of about 1 mm and it is easy to cultivate in large quantity. Injecting nanostructures into the ovary of this nematode, it leads to an entirely new Nano-carrier technology utilizing the ability of living organisms by urging spawning at the end of guidance to the destination.
