Abstract:
On the eve of the second anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Shimon Peres told the World Nano-Economic Congress here that the fate of the world rest in the hands of technologists. The Israeli politician and former prime minister heartily endorsed nanotechnology, saying it could among other things ensure Israel's security. He called for "the use of science and technology to enhance peace" throughout the world.
