Nanotechnology and Food Remains in the Realm of Speculation and Fear Mongering (IEEE Spectrum)
It still seems that the mob with pitchforks is in control of the issue of nanotechnology and food. I was reading a fairly balanced report in a publication called the Mindful Metropolis on the state of nanotechnology and food.

Toxicity of single-walled carbon nanotube: How we were wrong? (materialstoday)
The first issue that we address and justify in this paper is the pejorative and provocative tone of the title; the contradictory data on the toxic effects of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) make us believe that it is appropriate and necessary.

Stopping Bacterial Infections Without Antibiotics (Medical News Today)
New research at the A. James Clark School of Engineering could prevent bacterial infections using tiny biochemical machines nanofactories that can confuse bacteria and stop them from spreading, without the use of antibiotics. A paper about the research is featured in the current issue of Nature Nanotechnology. “Engineered biological nanofactories trigger quorum sensing response... »
Peter Brimelow: Dines disappoints on deflation, not returns (Market Watch)
James Dines’ just-published 2010 Forecast issue doesn’t explain his dramatic position on deflation, but if Dines can turn in triple-digit annual gains, Peter Brimelow doesn’t care.
