Abstract

Visualize printing all 24 volumes of the Encyclopaedia Britannica on the head of a pin. In 1959, Richard Feynman articulated this reality in an insightful address at the annual meeting of the American Physical Society. In what became a prophetic speech, “There's plenty of room at the bottom” 1, Feynman discussed manipulating and controlling matter on a small scale. Back then, forward thinking conjured images of going to the moon in an era when computers occupied entire floors of buildings. Fifty years later, we no longer have to imagine. We are actively manipulating and controlling materials and devices on the scale of nanometers. With these advances, researchers have heralded both positive and negative effects of nanotechnology. Advocates point to efficient energy consumption, a cleaner environment, and eradicating health problems. Others have noted we do not know enough about how nanomaterials function, how they add potential stressors to the environment, or what chemical reactions may result when nanomaterials meet other particles. Both groups have called for further debate and advanced research into nanotechnology to determine the balance between risks and benefits.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
