Abstract

To address the potential for nanotechnology to impact chemical and biological (CB) defense and proliferation, the Nanotechnology for Chemical and Biological Defense Project – known as NanoCBD2030 – was designed to explore the potential use and misuse of nanoscience, nanotechnology, nanoengineering, and analogous emerging technologies in order to formulate a strategy to inform and guide the development of federal science and technology capabilities for the next 25 years.
