Naturally, the political implications could be dramatic. This is one circumstance where adversaries of Israel stand to gain an overwhelming advantage should they achieve a certain level of nanotechnology before Israel does. An investment/achievements comparison between Israel and existing/potential adversaries would be interesting to see. Per dollar spent, I suspect the Israelis will have a higher rate of achievement.
