• New carbon nanotube study raises the health impact stakes

  From 2020 Science : I ’m looking at an electron microscope image of a carbon nanotube - as I cannot show it here, you’ll have to imagine it. It shows a long, straight, multi-walled carbon nanotube, around 100 nanometers wide and 10 micrometers long. There Read More...

• Working safely with carbon nanotubes

  So you want to make or use carbon nanotubes, but you are worried about handling then safely. What do you do? The good news is that the UK Health and Safety Executive has just published an information sheet that addresses just this question. Risk management Read More...

• Smart materials; smart choices?

  Why nano? Why care? For non-nanotech initiates, an obsession with nanotechnology must sometimes seem a bizarre occupation of the sad and lonely. And even within the nanotechnology community, who hasn’t had occasional doubts over the legitimacy of singling Read More...

• Carbon nanotubes: the new asbestos? Not if we act fast.

  Mix carbon nanotubes and asbestos together (metaphorically) and you get an explosive mix—at least if news coverage of the latest publication coming out of Professor Ken Donaldson’s team is anything to go by. The research— published on-line today in Nature Read More...
