The UK is showing signs of building public understanding and input on nanotechnology, as the Council for Science and Technology is soliciting public input for its review of the Government's response (pdf) to the Royal Society//Royal Academy of Engineering report, Nanoscience and Nanotechnologies: opportunities and uncertainties (pdf).
