Grey Goo is an end of the world scenario in which molecular nanotechnology in the form of out-of-control self replicating robots consume everything on Earth whilst still multiplying. The term ‘Grey Goo’ is usually used in science fiction.

 Also, nanotechnology has the potential to disrupt many aspects of society and politics. This new technology has the power to cause two countries to involve in an unstable arms race.
