NANOTECHNOSCIENCE AS A CLUSTER OF THE DIFFERENT NATURAL AND ENGINEERING THEORIES AND NANOETHICS

摘要

In the modern scientific landscape we can see as yet more a special type of scientific discipline — a scientific-technological discipline. Nanotechnology is not only a new type of scientific-engineering discipline, it also evolves in a "non-classical" way. Nanotechnology is at the same time a field of scientific knowledge and a sphere of engineering activity, in other words — NanoTechnoScience — similar with Systems Engineering as the analysis and design of large-scale, complex, man/machine systems but now as micro- and nanosystems. Nanoethics is an important and inalienable part of the NanoTechnoScience.
