British Breakthrough Highlights Nanotechnology Policy Gap - Center for Responsible Nanotechnology (Press Release), USA
An urgent need for new nanotechnology policy is highlighted by breakthrough results from a recent British government funded project. For the first time ever, a group of high-level scientists assembled for the purpose of inventing something as close as they could get to the long-sought nanotechnology goal of building precise products atom by atom. The remarkably advanced projects those scientists produced -- which they hope to complete in three to five few years -- suggest that the era of molecular manufacturing could arrive far more swiftly than previously imagined.

Book 'Em, Nano - Washington Post, USA
I have been reading articles that question the safety of nanoparticles and the lack of oversight by the FDA. I saw some neat storage containers that keep produce fresh longer through the use of silver nanoparticles in the plastic. Can nanoparticles gravitate to food? Would that possibly endanger my health? What's the health risk here, and may I safely buy those nifty food storage containers?
