Benefits and Dangers of Nanotechnology: Health and Terrorism.

The first goal in this paper is to discuss the fundamental principles, applications, advantages, and disadvantages of nanotechnology with a view of promoting the importance and validity of nanotechnology in the developed countries as well as the emerging developing countries in Africa and elsewhere. The second goal is intended to provoke critical thinking, analysis, medical applications, environmental and economic issues or implications involving nanotechnology. The third goal is to discuss the potential security threat that would pose world peace, should nanotechnology, nanodevices, nanomaterials fall into the wrong hands. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
