In the UK Government commissioned the Royal Society, the UK national academy of engineering, to carry out an independent study of likely developments and whether nanotechnology raises or is likely to raise new ethical, health and safety or social issues which are not covered by current regulation. The final report was published in One nanometre is onemillionth of millimetre and single human hair is around 80,000 nanometres in width. .
