Foresight Debate with Scientific
American
During 1996 a debate about nanotechnology was conducted
between Foresight Institute and Scientific American
magazine. This debate is noteworthy for how the World Wide Web
made possible a detailed response to a published article. The overview of this debate on
nanotechnology provides a summary of the debate and links to
the individual documents. For the most recent result, see SciAm correction. See
also the article
in Foresight Update 24 and the article
in Foresight Update 25.
A recent addition to the discussion is "TOO
HARD?", an editorial by Stanley Schmidt published in the
January 1997 issue of Analog Science Fiction and Fact.
In April, 1997, an
article on the Scientific American Web site hailed
computational nanotechnology research done at NASA Ames Research
Center.
