Definition(s)

  • Increasingly, the relationship between nanotechnology and the public is cast as a hallmark of its distinctiveness. In current debates concerning its governance and regulation, nanotechnology is commonly cast as an opportunity to “get it right,” to “avoid the mistakes of the past,” to learn from previous scientific controversies and mishaps, including that of genetically modified crops and foods and to create a new, socially robust science.
