The First Carbon Nanotube is Free

Well, it seems the scientifically illiterate masses are being stirred up once again by overblown news on the nanotechnology front. I think the concept is, you can't trust anything in a quantum state or anything that you can't see. Ok, the mice were injected with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and they were indications of mesothelioma-like cancer in mice that ingested longer CNTs than shorter ones. The two most obvious problems with this headline inducing research finding is that humans would inhale
