The current debate has narrowed severely, often reducing the social and ethical risks of nanotechnology to its toxicity and the need for public engagement. The authors argue that there is a deep need to focus on the diversity of the uses of nanotechnology and its trans-disciplinary nature, a fact that makes it more interesting to social scientists. They argue that the focus of social scientists' research should be on the creation of nanotechnology, the processes through which it develops, and the alternative perspectives underlying this, rather then on its potential societal and ethical implications.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal Article</style></work-type></record></records></xml>
