Nanotechnology and You
by Jack Stilgoe
Nanotechnologies could revolutionise many aspects of everyday life, including the treatment of diseases and injuries, and how we produce our food and energy. But do people want these new technologies? What are the risks, and will they be dealt with properly?
The BBSRC exhibit Nanotechnology and You explores some current nanotechnology research and highlights recent public dialogue activities that asked the public what they think about nanotechnology and its future applications.
Nanotechnology and You will be on display throughout Edinburgh International Science Festival (6-15 April 2006) at Edinburgh Central Lending Library, George IV Bridge, Edinburgh, EH1 1EG during normal opening hours.
