Nanotechnology; The History, The Development, The Associated Science and SkepticismPresented by:GathonKellum
History of Nanotechnology *Desire to Push forward *Difference engine *Analytical Engine *Early physicists
Introduction of Nanotechnology *Manipulation of Molecules * Size of the tip of a human hair *fifty Nano meters *constantly evolving
Skeptical view *Dangers of Nanotechnology *self-replicating nanobots *spontaneous release of energy *Risk of the unknown
Explanation of associated science *over 800 members * The Society of Scientific Exploration *a professional organization of scientists and scholars *watches over everything that is written or invented
Economic and Environment considerations Presented by Bradley Maynard
Current Advances *Carbon nanotubes *nanofluids being used as heat transfer fluids *coated aluminum being used in electronic devices *protective gear for soldiers
The Bulletproof Suit *suits for the financial elite *Lighter than Kevlar stronger than steel *strongest fibers in the world
Whats left to come? *development of new medicines *obtain and store solar energy better *manipulate viruses and proteins *advancements in alternative energies
The environment *cleaner alternative energies *more affordable *more efficient *environmentally friendly
Nanotechnology: The Political, Legal,Ethical and Moral issuesPresented by: Erik Mack
Political Issues: *Improving standard of living *Countries racing to be “first” *Dictates speed of development
Legal Issues: *No clear definition *Vague laws with many loopholes *Need for proper regulations
Ethical Issues: * Nano-enhanced foods *Rich and Poor country gaps *Genetic Pollution *Less human jobs (http://www.foodrenegade.com/pics/cornpharma.JPG)
Moral Issues *Too “God-Like” *Nanotechnology as weapons *Nanotechnology uncontrollable
Psychological Considerations, Sociological effects, Media Influence and Current Context Presented byRoy Banks
Nanotechnology and the Media *Magazines engage youth *Mainstream media lacking in coverage. *Higher Education Pushing for Nanotechnology *Youtube videos teaching Nano
Current context of Nanotechnology *Cleaner fuel *New Drugs *Molecular disease detection *Smaller Faster Computers
Psychological considerations *Lack of Education *Hollywood feeds Fears *Cloning Debates and Fears *Fear of Unknown
Sociological Effects *Public Advisory Boards *Improved Regulatory Controls Advancing What is Needed and Profitable *Unknowable Long Term Effects
