| Item Description: | "Faced with the accelerating developments in nanoscience and, in consequence, in nanotechnology, the Europäische Akademie Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler GmbH started an initiative with the aim to evaluate the state of the art in nanoscience and nanotechnology, considering not only the natural sciences but - to the same extent - philosophical, ethical, toxicological and, last but not least, economic aspects. Besides the description of the state of the present situation, the book also considers possible future developments as far as they can be foreseen and gives recommendations to decision makers. The working group ... began its activities on 1st July 2003 ... The project was finished on 31st December 2005"--Foreword. Electronic resource. |
