The UK Government is seeking to regulate nanotechnology and the science behind it. While nanotechnologies have brought advances to a range of industries, they also present potential safety and ethical challenges. A 2003 study into nanoscience and nanotechnologies, by the Royal Society and the Royal Academy of Engineering, looked into present and future developments in the field as well as their potential impact. The working group's chair, Ann Dowling, believes that the move to regulate this area is a positive one. However, she is disappointed that more funds have not been committed to the cause.
