Wilson Quarterly: "Is Nanotech Getting Real?"

from the what-DC-is-reading dept.
The Spring 2001 Wilson Quarterly — overall, an excellent publication worth reading regularly — includes a short survey of recent articles on nanotechnology mentioning Foresight, Bill Joy, Gilder's objections to Joy, Smalley's objections to nanomachines ("various practical reasons"), and Mirkin's work at Northwestern. It closes: "The [US] federal government is spending on nanoscience this year some $423 million — hardly a nanosum."
