Nanotechnology Nanotechnology is actually a fairly new idea. This may not seem like any big deal in terms of ethics‚ but just like any type of scientific advancement there are positives and negatives. Of course the ethical issues don’t stem out of just the fact that this is a new kind of science. It branches off of "what will this new scientific technology be used for?" For example‚ Embryonic Stem Cell research. It’s not the research that’s bad it’s how they get the cells. There are half

In recent years we’ve heard about corporate scandals involving big companies such as Firestone Tire and Rubber Company for the use of child labor‚ Southwest Airline’s violation of safety regulations‚ Fannie Mae’s underreporting of profit‚ Parmalat’s accounting scandal & mutual fund fraud‚ among others; but what do all these companies have in common? They failed to adhere to the basic ethical principles that should prevail in business activities. Business ethics dictates a set of standard principles

NANOTECHNOLOGY 1. ABSTRACT: Nanotechnology as the name suggests is derived from two words-nano meaning small and technology meaning the science and engineering so it may be defined as the science and engineering at scale of atoms and molecules. Nanotechnology involves materials so small (1 to 100 nanometers in size) that they exhibit unique properties. The goal of nanotechnology research is to understand unique properties of nanosized particles and use that knowledge to create new‚ high performance

On the other hand‚ nanotechnology raises many of the same issues as any new technology‚ including concerns about the toxicity and environmental impact of nanomaterials‚ and their potential effects on global economics‚ as well as speculation about various doomsday scenarios. These concerns have led to a debate among advocacy groups and governments on whether special regulation of nanotechnology is

3.2 “Lab-on-a-Chip” A Lab-on-a-Chip (LOC) device‚ also known as a micro-total-analytical system (microTAS) or microfluidics device‚ is a device that can integrate miniaturized laboratory functions (such as separation and analysis of components of a mixture) on a single microprocessor chip using extremely small fluid volumes on the order of nanoliters to picoliters. From a technology categorization perspective‚ LOCs can be viewed as a subset of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and combine
