Products on Sale NowSunscreen• Chengyin Nano Titanium Dioxide R&D Center - China
– This sun screener is white powder in appearance.– Compounded from ultrafine organic functional materials, it has small
diameter and larger surface area.– Due to its innocuity and no side effect, it is highly stable in terms of
chemical property.– After organic and inorganic wrapping, it forms hydrophilic or
hydrophobic products– Due to its ultrafine diameter, it feels fine and smooth.– Used for sun-screening cream, skin-protecting shampoo, face cream,
sun-screening foundation cream, sun-screening lipstick and sun-screening ointment.
– Protects from UVA and UVB, keeps skin fine and smooth.

Products on Sale NowSunscreen• Showa Denko - Japan
– titanium oxide – 30 nm diameter– zinc oxide – 20 nm diameter– surfaces coated with thin film of silica to reduce the surface activity,
thereby increasing transparency and UV-shielding performance.– Maxlight FTS - excellent shielding performance in the UV-B region
(UV wavelength: 280-320 nm). Addition of a small amount ofMaxlight FTS results in high sun protection factor (SPF) values.
– high transparency after application to the skin.– Maxlight ZS provides excellent shielding performance in the UV-A
region (UV wavelength: 320-400 nm) and high transparency.– These have enabled the production of an oil/water type cream that
holds emulsified oil in moisture content. When Maxlight FTS andMaxlight ZS are used together, the cosmetic preparation can shieldUV of all wavelengths reaching the earth's surface.
– Annual sales of Maxlight series expected $8.6M by 2005.

NanostructuresNanohorns -Carbon Nanotubes discoverer NEC Research Fellow Sumio Iijima in 1991
NEC Cells with carbon nanohorn electrode generate ~ 20% more electricpower than conventional fuel cells with activated-carbon electrodes.
Carbon nanohorn has a finer structure than activated carbon
Serve as structure on the electrode for fine particles of platinum catalystfor decomposing hydrogen.
NEC claims it can produce fuel cells for mobile devices at the same costas that of lithium-ion batteries. Methanol fueled – 16 hours life (4-8x)
Will concentrate on development of new fuel cells, as mainstay product

Rising Anxiety11 Dangers of Molecular Nanotechnology
1. Economic disruption from an abundance of cheap products2. Economic oppression from artificially inflated prices3. Personal risk from criminal or terrorist use4. Personal or social risk from abusive restrictions5. Social disruption from new products/lifestyles6. Unstable arms race7. Free-range self-replicators (gray goo)8. Collective environmental damage from unregulated products9. Black market in nanotech (increases other risks)10. Competing nanotech programs (increases other risks)11. Attempted relinquishment (increases other risks)

1. Advanced nanotech can solve many human problems.2. Many diverse problems are related to water.3. Cheap greenhouses can save water, land, and food.4. Nanotech makes solar energy feasible.5. Living spaces can be greatly improved.6. Computers will be cheap enough for everyone.7. Nanotech can help the environment.8. Removing causes of distress may reduce social unrest.

Rising AnxietyInaction poses at least three severe risks:
1) No other solution may be found for certain pressing problems.
2) Inaction on the part of responsible people could simply lead to thedevelopment and use of MNT (Molecular NanoTechnology) by lessresponsible people.
3) Lack of understanding of the technology will leave the world ill-equipped to deal with irresponsible use.

Rising Anxiety"Today, both public and private spending on nanotechnology is broadlyinternational.
Expected economic and military advantages are driving a technologyrace already underway.
If law-abiding nations choose to delay nanotechnology development,they will relinquish the lead to others," Christine Peterson, PresidentForesight Institute.
TheHill May 07, 2003 The House Science Committee held a spiriteddebate on hypothetical invasions by grey goo and other unforeseenside effects of nanotechnology in its recent markup of H.R. 766, theNanotechnology Research and Development Act of 2003.
drk 15May03
H.R. 766 - Congress approved additional nanotechspending by a 405 to 19 vote May 8, 2003
• Nanotech R&D Act budgets $2.36B over 3 years, average $787M/yr(< Bush's request for $847M next year, ~10% > spending $774M this yr.)
• During discussion, there was little opposition to increased fed. funding.Instead, politicians jousted over amendments about "social and ethicalconcerns" relating to nanotech.
• The House added an amendment proposed by Eddie Bernice Johnson,that would create a citizen's advisory committee of "non-scientific andnon-technical" Americans with the task of considering the possible threatof nanotechnology.
• This is "a simple amendment that allows for some type of public input aswe move along into this new area of nanotechnology," Johnson said.Without her amendment, Johnson said, "we'll have a lot of demonstratorsthat will be marching to find out what's going on." Johnson was referringto the fear that if hypothetical nanomachines -- which do not (yet) exist --escape from the lab and reproduce in the wild, they could wreak havoc onthe planet.

Kudzu Anxiety• Nanotechnology still in its early stages
• No specific regulatory proposals have been advanced so far
• Liberal ETC Group called for a global moratorium on manufacturingnanomaterials
• Sun Microsystems founder Bill Joy famously warned that mankindmust not unleash nanotechnology because it could "destroy thebiosphere on which all life depends."
• Michael Crichton's novel "Prey," published last year, ponders whatwould happen if malicious, fictitious nanobots escaped from a lab.
• Likening the threat of problematic nanotech to the fast-growing kudzuplant, Brad Miller said it was prudent to be cautious. "Now 7m acresof the South are covered by kudzu," Miller said. "It covers crops, itcovers barns, it covers houses. Many of us suspect we have lostslow-moving relatives to the kudzu. I very much want to make surethat we're not turning loose upon the world a molecular atomickudzu."
drk 15May03
• Establish a National Nanotechnology Research and Development tocommercialize nanotechnology.and be responsible for evaluating "thepotential implications of human performance enhancement and thepossible development of nonhuman intelligence."
• Divvy up the total funds among the NSF (~ half), DoE and other smallerrecipients among federal agencies.
• Require the National Academy of Sciences to conduct periodic reviews offederal nanotech spending at least once every 3 years.
• Create a National Nanotechnology Coordination Office, with a full-timestaff, that will become a central point of contact for "governmentorganizations, academia, industry, professional societies, and others toexchange technical and programmatic information."
• The Senate is considering a parallel proposal “the 21st CenturyNanotechnology Research and Development Act”, which has 13sponsors.
