Nanotechnological Arms Race

From the SL4 Lexicon:

Nanotechnological Arms Race:

Once the design for a nanomanufactured product is completed, creating the product in bulk is only a matter of having the raw materials. Also, nanotechnology will open up huge new portions of design space for weapons and weapons systems, allowing devices and shields orders of magnitude more powerful than anything we have today.
