How long the list can be? To be a little extreme, a screw driver was used to fasten armor of a knight back in the middle ages. More current example could include radar, computer and internet?

We should add a list of things labeled as dual-use technology by various governments and organizations, things like tritium and graphite. Matteboy2001 21:30, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

More common definition of dual-use
The term "dual-use" can have many meanings. It can refer to any technology that has more than one use. However, in the context of this entry it generally has two meanings. First, it refers to technology that has both civilian and military uses, such as night-vision systems. In the nuclear context it has a different meaning. It refers to technology that has both nuclear and non-nuclear uses, such as maraging steel. See IAEA Document INFCIRC/254 Part 1 for the Nuclear Suppliers Group export control guidelines for nuclear items, and INFCIRC/254 Part 2 for the corresponding guidelines for nuclear-related dual-use items.

US and Canadian Law for dual-use technologies ?
Hello guys, I am making some work on dual-use technologies US and Canadian regulations, and for that I need precise legal references. The fact is I can't find any (for example, US Bureau of Industry and Security explain how to be compliant to US legislation, but does not give the precise legal text). Can you help me please ? Does ITAR law covers dual-use technologies in US ? Thank you guys :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.82.232.1 (talk) 10:29, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Quick Vandalism Edit Help
So, on my screen at least, someone wrote "GAY!" in all caps right above "Nuclear". I have searched the revision history and code and can't find a way to remove it.46.235.154.89 (talk) 20:06, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

The Militarily Critical Technologies List (MCTL)

 * This is currently under the "External Links" Section, although it is currently a Dead Link
 * By accident pre-noticing it on this page i encountered it in this link:
 * https://irp.fas.org/threat/mctl98-2/mctl98-2.pdf
 * This Apprears to be Well Backed Up on The Wayback Machine
 * Thus should i swap the external link to either of those?

Antigravity
Hi, as this is currently not known to be possible I am hesitant to add it. That being said, a unified theory of quantum gravity *may* eventually lead to technology that can affect the Higgs field itself thus manipulating gravitation and time yielding a mechanism for generating time dilation at non relativistic velocities. An antigravity generator is thus theoretically feasible using the domain wall effect, and as such a device using this technology would be 'born classified' due to its obvious military and nuclear applications. The current consensus is that generating Higgs bosons requires enormous energy equivalent to tens of TeV (LHC) but advances in particle accelerators may be able to function at much smaller sizes comparable to desktop sized devices if certain components can be miniaturized such as the bending magnets and the luminosity increased by several orders of magnitude. Interestingly there is a small chance that superconductors have a 'Higgs-like' mechanism so there is a way that HTSCs can affect matter directly - a suitably constructed device based on this effect might be able to weakly affect gravity a bit like a lead shield with gamma rays though in this case the mechanism is a quantum effect originating from the Cooper pairing mechanism itself and if too strong causes the superconductor to quench thus spoiling the effect. 88.81.140.241 (talk) 03:52, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
