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.

Scientists, for example, are looking at whether nanotechnology could be used to increase the power and speed of computer circuits. The joint academies remain active in this area, for more information please visit the whats happening page.

The final report was published in Whats new Royal Society & Royal Academy of Engineering, 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. Nanoscience and nanotechnologies involve studying and working with matter on an ultrasmall scale. One nanometre is onemillionth of millimetre and single human hair is around 80,000 nanometres in width.
