Societal implications of nanoscience and nanotechnology: Maximizing human benefit (2005, neutral): “The resultant report (Roco & Bainbridge, 2005) grew out of a major workshop held on December 3–5, 2003, at which leading representatives of industry, government, and a wide range of scientific and engineering disciplines shared information and analyzed the increasing societal importance of nanotechn”
Nanoparticles and higher plants (2009, background): “Nanoparticles (nano-scale particles = NSPs) are atomic or molecular aggregates with at least one dimension between 1 and 100nm (Ball 2002; Roco 2003a), that can drastically modify their physico-chemical properties compared to the bulk material (Nel et al. 2006).”
The Public and Nanotechnology: How Citizens Make Sense of Emerging Technologies (2005, background): “Ironically, public acceptance and public understanding of nanotechnology as an emerging scientific issue are chronically understudied (Roco, 2003).”
