From the lab to the battlefield? Nanotechnology and fourth generation nuclear weapons
arXiv:physics/0509205
Abstract
The paper addresses some major implications of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) engineering and nanotechnology for the improvement of existing types of nuclear weapons, and the development of more robust versions of these weapons, as well as for the development of fourth generations nuclear weapons in which nanotechnology will play an essential role.
