Lux Research hosted talks on environmental and health safety issues related to nanotechnology at its Lux Executive Summit. Speakers recognized that there are potential risks--some involving public perceptions--and urged business people to address them early in product development, rather than as an afterthought.
nanotechnology is the science of working with materials at the nanoscale. A nanometer is a billionth of a meter. A human hair is about 80,000 nanometers wide.
Nanomaterials can be used in a broad range of products, from solar panels to golf balls to medicines.
