Store Nanotechnology and International Security by Mark Avrum Gubrud Center for Superconductivity Research University of Maryland College Park, MD 20742-4111 gubrud@squid.umd.edu This is a draft paper for a talk at the Fifth Foresight Conference on Molecular Nanotechnology This paper is available on the web at http://www.foresight.org/Conferences/MNT05/Papers/Gubrud/index.html Updated versions and additional material available at http://squid.umd.edu/~gubrud/ Abstract Recent U.S. planning and policy documents foretell "how wars will be fought in the future," and warn of new or re-emergent "global peer competitors" in the 2005-2025 time frame. It is generally appreciated that this period will be characterized by rapid progress in many areas of technology. However, assembler-based nanotechnology and artificial general intelligence have implications far beyond the Pentagon's current vision of a "revolution in military affairs." Whereas the perfection of nuclear explosives established a strategic stalemate, advanced molecular manufacturing based on self-replicating systems, or any military production system fully automated by advanced artificial intelligence, would lead to instability in a confrontation between rough equals. Rivals would feel pressured to preempt, if possible, in initiating a full-scale military buildup, and certainly not to be caught behind. As the rearmament reached high levels, close contact between forces at sea and in space would give an advantage to the first to strike.

Nanotechnology From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A mite next to a gear set produced using MEMS , the precursor to nanotechnology. Courtesy Sandia National Laboratories, SUMMiTTM Technologies, www.mems.sandia.gov Nanotechnology comprises technological developments on the nanometer scale, usually 0.1 to 100 nm. (One nanometer equals one thousandth of a micrometer or one millionth of a millimeter .) The term has sometimes been applied to microscopic technology. This article discusses nanotechnology, nanoscience, and conjectured molecular nanotechnology The term nanotechnology is sometimes conflated with molecular nanotechnology (also known as "MNT"), a conjectural advanced form of nanotechnology believed by some to be achievable at some point in the future, based on productive nanosystems. Molecular nanotechnology would fabricate precise structures using mechanosynthesis to perform molecular manufacturing . Molecular nanotechnology, though not yet existent, is posited by its proponents to have a great impact on society if realized. Current debate on whether molecular nanotechnology is likely to be developed can be seen at the weblog of Richard Jones and other sites mentioned therein.

Press Room Communication and Debate The need for an open debate Nanotechnology is likely to change our lives in many ways. It is important that nanotechnology is developed in a responsible way – in a way that responds to the needs and concerns of the citizens. An open debate involving the public is indispensable. This will allow a shared analysis of benefits and risks (both real and perceived) and their implications for society. Integrating the societal dimension and addressing expectations and concerns are an important element of the European strategy for nanotechnology and of the nanotechnology Action Plan Towards an informed dialogue Providing accessible information will allow citizens to better understand what nanotechnology is, how it will be applied, and its implications for society. Interested citizens must be enabled to reach their own informed and independent judgements. The European Commission has published two films and a brochure in order to inform the public about nanotechnology. Currently, two projects are funded that explore the ethical, legal and social aspects of nanotechnology:

Despite having the bones and muscles to perform a variety of gaits, human beings have developed an overwhelming preference for just two: walking and running.

What is nanotechnology? It is the science of building things atom by atom with precise control over matter rather than the way items are currently manufactured. Much research is currently being focused on this field and if even a portion of the speculation about a society with nanotechnology comes true, our world will be radically changed. This has been my focus over the past several years and the new series should be ready soon.

56. Nanotechnology And Cryonics An introduction by Jerry Emanuelson of Colorado Futurescience. 3 printed pages. http://www.webcom.com/cfsc/nanocryo.html

NANOTECHNOLOGY In the final analysis, aging and death have only one cause: for whatever reason, the atoms and molecules in our bodies have moved from their proper positions; and other molecules and atoms have moved into positions where they should not be. The molecular machinery in our bodies maintains our lives by handling molecules at the molecular level. A molecular machine is a large molecule that manipulates other molecules, one at a time. We put random assortments of molecules, in the form of food, into our bodies; but these molecules are useless without the intricate molecular machinery in our bodies that sorts through the molecules, rearranging them as necessary, and transporting them to their proper places. When we take a supplemental vitamin or hormone or a medicine, all we can do with today's technology is to inject it into our bloodstream or swallow it, and hope that the body's molecular machinery will transport and use the substances properly. During surgery, even the most precise microsurgery, the surgeon's scalpel slices through thousands of cells moving trillions of molecules out of their proper positions. At the cellular level, every surgical procedure is an unbelievably crude operation. The surgeon relies heavily on the molecular machinery of the body to put things back in position after the surgery is over. If we could develop machines the size of viruses to continuously and efficiently maintain the molecules of our bodies, augmenting the natural molecular machinery in our bodies, we would never get sick. Such maintenance would have to include getting rid of the molecules that aren't supposed to be there.

Home TV Radio Talk ... Newswatch Last Updated: Tuesday, 2 August 2005, 09:38 GMT 10:38 UK E-mail this to a friend Printable version Nanotechnology kills cancer cells Tiny tubes are implanted in cancer cells Nanotechnology has been harnessed to kill cancer cells without harming healthy tissue. The technique works by inserting microscopic synthetic rods called carbon nanotubules into cancer cells. When the rods are exposed to near-infra red light from a laser they heat up, killing the cell, while cells without rods are left unscathed. Details of the Stanford University work are published by Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. It's actually quite simple and amazing Dr Hongjie Dai Researcher Dr Hongjie Dai said: "One of the longstanding problems in medicine is how to cure cancer without harming normal body tissue. "Standard chemotherapy destroys cancer cells and normal cells alike. "That's why patients often lose their hair and suffer numerous other side effects. "For us, the Holy Grail would be finding a way to selectively kill cancer cells and not damage healthy ones."
