Nottingham Nanotechnology Debate (4 of 7)

On August 24 2005, the School of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Nottingham hosted a debate entitled “Nanotechnology: Radical new Science or Plus Ça Change?” This brought together leading British scientists and key proponents of the molecular manufacturing concept (originally put forward by K. Eric Drexler in 1981) to debate the science, feasibility, and potential of nanomachines. A variety of thought-provoking technical and societal issues were raised during the well-attended two hour session (which featured as a component of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council-funded 2005 UK Summer School in Surface Science).
