Nanotechnology in Manufacturing

Nanotechnology; The History, The Development, The Associated Science and Skepticism Presented by: Gathon Kellum

History of Nanotechnology *Desire to Push forward *Difference engine *Analytical Engine *Early physicists

Introduction of Nanotechnology *Manipulation of Molecules * Size of the tip of a human hair *fifty Nano meters *constantly evolving

Skeptical view *Dangers of Nanotechnology *self-replicating nanobots *spontaneous release of energy *Risk of the unknown

Explanation of associated science *over 800 members * The Society of Scientific Exploration *a professional organization of scientists and scholars *watches over everything that is written or invented

Economic and Environment considerations Presented by Bradley Maynard

Current Advances *Carbon nanotubes *nanofluids being used as heat transfer fluids *coated aluminum being used in electronic devices *protective gear for soldiers

The Bulletproof Suit *suits for the financial elite *Lighter than Kevlar stronger than steel *strongest fibers in the world

Whats left to come? *development of new medicines *obtain and store solar energy better *manipulate viruses and proteins *advancements in alternative energies

The environment *cleaner alternative energies *more affordable *more efficient *environmentally friendly

Nanotechnology: The Political, Legal, Ethical and Moral issues Presented by: Erik Mack

Political Issues: *Improving standard of living *Countries racing to be “first” *Dictates speed of development

Legal Issues: *No clear definition *Vague laws with many loopholes *Need for proper regulations

Ethical Issues: * Nano-enhanced foods *Rich and Poor country gaps *Genetic Pollution *Less human jobs (http://www.foodrenegade.com/pics/cornpharma.JPG)

Moral Issues *Too “God-Like” *Nanotechnology as weapons *Nanotechnology uncontrollable

Psychological Considerations, Sociological effects, Media Influence and Current Context Presented by Roy Banks

Nanotechnology and the Media *Magazines engage youth *Mainstream media lacking in coverage. *Higher Education Pushing for Nanotechnology *Youtube videos teaching Nano

Current context of Nanotechnology *Cleaner fuel *New Drugs *Molecular disease detection *Smaller Faster Computers

Psychological considerations *Lack of Education *Hollywood feeds Fears *Cloning Debates and Fears *Fear of Unknown

Sociological Effects *Public Advisory Boards *Improved Regulatory Controls Advancing What is Needed and Profitable *Unknowable Long Term Effects
