Abstract
We identify 6 important issues tied to the continued development of nantechnology: (1) environmental issues, (2) equity issues relating to the possible emergence of a "nanodivide", (3) legal, regulatory and insurance challenges, (4) privacy issues, (5) the interaction between nanomedicine and medical issues and (6) "hypertechnology, or the pace of nanotechnological change. We conclude that continued efforts are needed to build upon an emerging inclusice dialogue engaging all of nano's stakeholders - from various publics to entrepreneurs, industrialists, venture capitalists, scientists and engineers-to ensure a mutually beneficial relationship between nanotechnology and society.
