• Getting to grips with nanomaterial toxicity

  From 2020science.org : Introducing MINChar —a new community initiative to support effective material characterization in nanotoxicity studies. Here’s a tough one: Imagine you have a new substance—call it substance X—and you run some tests to see how toxic Read More...

• Nano-silver: Old problems or new challenges?

  The SafeNANO blog is no stranger to the use (and possible abuse) of nanometre-scale silver—products ranging from silver-enhanced socks and toothpaste to plush toys and cure-alls have all appeared in the spotlight recently. With each passing month, the Read More...

• Nanotoxicologists self-assemble

  If you evaluate the toxicity of an engineered nanomaterial, how far can you trust your results? If someone else repeats your tests and gets a different answer, did they do it wrong? Did you? Or was the material used different in some subtle but nevertheless Read More...
