WAUKESHA – Most Americans believe nanotechnology is morally unacceptable because of strong ties to faith that may skew perception about the basis of the minuscule science, a recent study by the University of Wisconsin-Madison said.
Dietram Scheufele, a UW-Madison professor of life sciences communication who helped conduct the study, said deeply-rooted religious views are dictating peoplesâ?? views on nanotechnology. The results of the study show an urgent need to better explain the scientific practice to the public, he said
