Medical Device Link .
Nanotechnology has been discussed a few times in this column in recent years, perhaps not surprisingly because the products of nanotechnology seem to be finding applications in almost every sector of manufacturing and consumer goods. The defining character of a nanomaterial, or a nanostructured

Nanowaste: The Next big threat?
unanswered, and possibly unanswerable, some groups want to halt nanotechnology in its tracks until its safety can be proven. The Etc. Group, for example, has insisted since 2002 that the world needs a moratorium on nanotech until an international body sets lab and manufacturing protocols for handling

The future will be measured in nanometers
more than the cost of the needed raw materials and the energy required. All in all, nanotechnology could end up rewriting the entire book on manufacturing. Researchers speculate that nanomaterials might have a structure resembling diamond fiber. Produced in exactly the shapes desired, they could sport
