for the application of the Open Source idea to the realm of nanotechnological designs.. Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter smaller than nm and marks the merger of different fields of technologies like biotech, chemistry, electronics and physics towards single new technology of the 21st century. transparency of the technological knowledge and applications and The current debate about nanotech hazards is hampered by lack of risk data as well as useful classification of nanotech applications concerning human exposure. disruptive nanotechnologies.

transparency of the technological knowledge and applications and Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter smaller than nm and marks the merger of different fields of technologies like biotech, chemistry, electronics and physics towards single new technology of the 21st century. Finally case is made for the creation of an open nanotechnology where open stands for Therefore classification is proposed that divides the field into Whereas some parts of nanotechnology have been known for decades like colloid chemistry that is relabeled as chemical nanotechnology, others have been discovered only recently, especially the exploitation of quantum effects in nanoscale particles.

While nanotechnology could yield some powerful applications for more sustainable use of ressources and energy production, medicine and electronics, some hazards begin to appear that have to be addressed urgently. Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter smaller than nm and marks the merger of different fields of technologies like biotech, chemistry, electronics and physics towards single new technology of the 21st century. Some nanotools for analysing matter on an atomic scale and basic applications like new materials are already on the market. disruptive nanotechnologies.
