Abstract:
We're reviewing CRN's list of thirty essential studies that must be performed before we can have an adequate understanding of the potential societal impacts of nanotechnology. Studies 1 and 2 are concerned with fundamental theory, studies 3 through 6 with potential capabilities of molecular manufacturing (MM) technologies, and studies 7 through 12 with the requirements of developing an effective MM technology. Today we're at the halfway mark with study #15: "What will the products cost?"
