Carbon nanotubes are the next asbestos?

Nanotechnology is the catch-all term used to describe, in brief, mad science and technology on a small scale. Carbon nanotubes, one of the more common nanoscale structures in use today are long, thin cylinders of carbon about 10,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair. These molecular scale tubes are stronger than steel yet lighter than aluminum, and today they are designed for use in a variety of consumer goods. But under the microscope CNTs look identical to asbestosFibers, leading scientists to believe that they cause similar health problems. In this video, we traveled to North Carolina State University, Dr. Jamie Bonner meet to learn more about his research on the possible toxicity of carbon nanotubes.
