10 Secret Things You Didn't Know About NANO ENTITIESIntegration of nanomaterials into the entire food supply.
Installation of AI nanomaterials for agro-food inspection.
Hybrid probes installed into foods that insert platforms into your body.
Injection of nanobodies into your food.
The World Economic Forum informed us that our food supply was going to be disrupted, beginning last year. Agro-food safety inspection is going high tech with newly constructed hybrid micro/nanoentities. Yes, you read that correctly, hybrid micro/nanoentities. And these nanoentities are not only going into the food supply but also pharmaceutical products.
WHAT ARE ENTITIES?
There is much speculation about what these entities are. Over the next few weeks, we will become somewhat familiar with them as they pop up across the commercial market.
The definition of entities is:
Something that exists as a particular and discrete unit.
The fact of existence; being.
The existence of something considered apart from its properties.
For purposes of this article, nanoentities are self-associated aggregates that group together to provide a solid lattice framework.
These entities are not merely physical surveillance arrays but include multi-dimensional aspects that I will be discussing in another article.
Described below are some of the entity names that you will see soon at your local grocery store, fulfilling the World Economic Forum’s promise to entirely disrupt the global food supply.

ENTITY NAMES
Molecular Imprinting Polymers integrated with Quantum Dots (MIPs@QDs)
What is this?
Advanced tools for cell imaging are of great interest for the detection, localization, and quantification of molecular biomarkers for infection. It is a novel photo polymerization method to coat quantum dots (QDs) with polymer shells (in particular, molecular imprinting polymers (MIPs)), by using the visible light emitted from QDs to install a surveillance platform into food and your body.
Molecular Imprinting Polymers Integrated with Upconversion Luminescent Nanoparticles (MIPs@UCNPs)
What is this?
The UCNPs are luminescent nanoparticles (NPs) that are doped, yes doped, with dyed silica, rare earth ions, and fluorescent QDs, providing an amazing array suite for food as it goes through its entire cycle (fork, food, body) for sensing and imaging in analytical chemistry, bioanalytical chemistry, biomedical engineering, and environmental science.
Upconversion Luminescent Nanoparticles Combined with Metal–Organic Frameworks (UCNPs@MOFs)
What is this?
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of porous materials prepared by the self-assembly of metal ions or clusters with organic ligands. They are tunable (i.e., controllable), meaning they have the power to regulate things such as dispensing of nutrition of food products to comply with international mandates. These metal ions form nodes that yolk together repeating cage-like structures, creating a fusion of biological life with machine.
Magnetic Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs@Fe3O4)
What is this?
Nano-sized metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) forming the foundation for magnetic core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) has been designed for targeted drug delivery engineered from a toxin released from cyanobacteria (blue-green algae).
Magnetic Covalent–Organic Frameworks (Fe3O4@COFs)
What is this?
Magnetic covalent organic frameworks (Fe3O4@COF) with core-shell structures were fabricated at room temperature and used as an adsorbent for magnetic extraction of polar endocrine-disrupting phenols and for sensing food in the human or animal body. The synthesis process is a temperature-controlled, reversible reaction that precisely controls the geometry, function, and stereo-orientation of food products.
Covalent–Organic Frameworks Doped with Quantum Dots (COFs@QDs)
What is this?
Quantum-dot-doped covalent organic frameworks (COF) in a molecularly imprinted network (QD-doped COFs@MIP) were developed for detection of Nereistoxin (NRT)-related insecticides in tap water.
Nereistoxin is a poison produced by organisms belonging to the Tetraodontiformes order, which includes the puffer fish, ocean sunfish, and porcupine fish.
Once these systems are integrated into the food supply, various imaging tools can be used to surveil the food supply and your consumption of food.
Integrating these sensory arrays will require various disciplines, such as material science, nanotechnology, and analytical methodology, to address new challenges that emerge in agro-food research fields. This will translate into higher food prices to cover implementation of these "food-safety" systems.
Once installed into the food system, no single sensory technology can detect the full range of nano-entities, as each technology has its own advantages and limitations.
BOTTOM LINE
The bottom line is that expensive surveillance system platforms (frameworks) are being integrated into the food supply, thereby causing food prices to skyrocket, while your access to food will plummet.
