Nanotechnology, it turns out, has a dark side that no one in the industry wants to talk about. New research suggests that nanoparticles could be harmful: fish exposed to nanoparticles duffered brain damage. Within 48 hours after being exposed to a very low concentration of nanoparticles, the fish produced brain damage that resembles Alzheimer's disease. But you won't hear that from the people involved in nanotech -- which seems to be anybody who wants a grant these days -- because they only want you to hear about the good news, not the bad.

There's not much good news, though: nanotechnology has so far been little more than hype. In fact, nobody can even agree on what nanotech really is. As the saying goes in the industry, "Nano is anything that I'm working on, but nothing that you're working on." Frankly, just about anything can be called nano, and if you scan the nanotech headlines these days, you'll see what I'm talking about.

Nanotech = hype.
