Using carbon nanotubes
in computer displays may further diminish
the environmental impacts by eliminating toxic heavy
metals and drastically reducing material and energy
use requirements, while providing enhanced performance
for consumer needs. Field emission displays
(FEDs) that use carbon nanotubes are the latest development
in display technology and may be commercially
available from several manufacturers within
the next year (18). Although...

A paper has been published today in Nature Nanotechnology with a fairly provocative title: Nanoparticles can cause DNA damage across a cellular barrier.
But before we start shouting “grey goo” from the rooftops and blaming nanotechnology for ruining our lives, the paper requires some more considered thought. We already suspect that certain nanoparticles cause damage, but the need for more research is abundantly clear.
What the team, led by...
