THE EXIBITS

Ready for a journey into the nanoworld? Films, multimedia and hands-on exhibits explain the nature of these nanotechnologies, which let us manipulate atoms to manufacture objects and materials with astonishing properties. They also offer food for thought about the ethical issues raised by the use of nanotechnologies.

I. Step into the nanoworld

II. Manipulating atoms

III. They are already among us!

IIV. Does the future need us?

VIDÉO

• What are the potential risks of nanotechnologies? What kinds of precaution can we take?
• What ethical issues are raised by the development of nanotechnologies?
• What new relationships between science and society are implied by research and controversies related to nanotechnology?

Answers from Jérôme Rose, research director at the CNRS (French National Centre for Scientific Research), Bernadette Bensaude-Vincent, director of the Scientific History and Philosophy Centre, Louis Laurent, physicist, and Jean-Pierre Dupuis, professor of philosophy at the Ecole Polytechnique engineering school.
