Description

This updated second edition puts nanotechnologies into perspective by explaining issues in health, environmental and military application domains, and discusses the technology in the context of current media and ethical debates. It also introduces the ambitious, and perhaps almost utopian, NBIC program (Nanotechnology, Biotechnology, Information Technology and Cognitive Science); an initiative that foresees the 'reunification' of science by encouraging collaboration among specialists of different scientific domains.
