Carbon nanotubes are apparently the new asbestos. According to a study overseen by the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies, carbon nanotubes not only look like asbestos fibers, but behave like them as well. And, just like asbestos fibers, they can cause mesothelioma, a cancer that occurs in the lining of the lungs.

It might be 100 billion times smaller than the first commercial radios, but the University of California at Berkeley’s nanoradio still sounds halfway decent through the right headphones. Alex Zettl, a professor of physics at the university, has managed to construct a working radio out of a single carbon nanotube that’s about 10,000 times thinner [...]
