How Can Nanotechnology Be Used in Chemical and Biological Warfare?
Nanotechnology can be used to develop more effective chemical and biological agents, as well as countermeasures. For example, nanoparticles can be designed to deliver toxins or pathogens more efficiently, increasing their lethality. Conversely, nanotechnology can also be used to develop advanced filtration systems and decontamination methods to protect against chemical and biological threats. The dual-use nature of nanotechnology in this domain highlights the need for careful oversight and regulation.
