But does this framing end up obscuring some risks, while overplaying others? Novelty and nanotechnology are deeply intertwined. The search for nanostructure-enabled materials has driven research funding in nanotechnology [-] Read more of this post Andrew Maynard | February 2, 2015 at 12:37 pm | Tags: nanomaterial, Nanotechnology, Nature Nanotechnology, Risk | Categories: 2020 Science, Technology Innovation | URL: http://www.riskscience.umich.edu/?p=14248
