CONTACT:Dr Xavier Moya
DESCRIPTION:The aim of this talk is to look at Nanoscience and Nanotechnol
 ogy in a wider context. Is there a real novelty behind these fashionable n
 ames\, or is it just a new slogan to attract research funding? What kind o
 f challenges do scientists working in this area face? What implications fo
 r society might it have? Is it safe? Is it crucial for future applications
 \, or will it fade and disappear in a few years' time? Where is the Nano s
 cience/fiction border today? By answering these questions from my perspect
 ive I am hoping to spark an interesting\, open-ended discussion with the a
 udience.
