    Revolution
In summary, the conversation discusses the topic of nanotechnology and the potential benefits and concerns surrounding it. While some are excited for the nanotechnological revolution, others acknowledge the need for strong controls over such a powerful technology. One concern raised is the difficulty in manipulating atoms due to their small size and the lack of tools capable of doing so.

What do you think about nanotechnology?

With the news that Prince Charles is campaining against it this week I want to hear your views (although since most of you are scientists I think you'll be for it). Just for the record I am looking forward to the nanotechnological revolution.

Both. Development must be continued for the good of the human race, but strong controls MUST be enforced over such a powerful technology. We are still far from that point, but the potential threat is large.

How do/will scientists be able to minipulate the atoms, as we are unable to see them, as they are smaller than the frequency of light. Even if we could, we cannot push them, as we don't have anything small enough to do so. Any help? Thanks.
