Nanodanger and the Periolous Goo

Date June 19, 2003

Nano this, nano that, there’s much ado about nanotechnology in the news as of late. Wired has an interesting article, Rage Against the (Green) Machine, on the possible downside to nanotechnology. The debate about the environmental impact of nanotechnology research provided me with some interesting food for thought over the lunch hour. Talk of “goo” is sure to be something that will begin to show up at the reference desk.

For a slightly more optimistic view of nano research, Thinking Big About Nanotechnology, was a previous article featured in Wired.

Who says that nanotechnology isn’t useful? I’m sure there all sorts of bands that are in need of a nanoguitarist…
