New nanoweapons discussed in Nanotech Law & Business Journal

Charles Choi of UPI’s Nano World presents two views of the development of new nanotech weapons: (1) “Pardo-Guerra and colleague Francisco Aguayo, of the College of Mexico, outlined in Nanotechnology Law & Business Journal three ways in which nanotechnology could enable new weapons” and (2) Microbiologist Mark Wheelis, of the University of California at Davis: “This is somewhat a threat in the future, but we ignore emerging future threats at our very grave peril.” A nano arms race is #2 on the list of U.S. public concerns about nanotech; maybe it should be #1 (instead of surveillance).–CP
