Expanding nanotechnology domains since 2000<br />
• 2000-2001: nano expanding in almost all disciplines<br />
2002-2003: industry moves behind nano development<br />
2003-2004: medical field get involved with new goals<br />
2004-2005: media, NGOs, public, internat. organizations<br />
2006-2007: new focus on common Earth resources -<br />
water, food, environment, energy, materials<br />
2007-2008: increased political-military relevance<br />
Changing public perception since 2000<br />
Before 2000:<br />
Is anything special at nanoscale?<br />
Is nanotechnology important?<br />
When the first products?<br />
2000-2003: Are there self-duplicating nano-bots?<br />

> 2003: What are the risks of “long-term / catastrophic<br />
environmental and health events” of nanoparticles?<br />
> 2005: <strong><strong>Nanotech</strong>nology</strong> can help sustainable<br />
management of global resources (water, energy, ..)<br />
Concern on using nanotechnology in food, x-products<br />
