Contest Seeks Perfect 'Beware of Nanotechnology' Warning

Abstract:
"Give us a sign!" they implored the online world -- a warning sign, that is. One that might become the internationally recognized symbol that a potentially toxic product of nanotechnology is nearby.

Thus did the quirky idea of holding a design contest turn into a global outpouring of creativity.
