Nanotoxicology study delivers promising results.(NANOTECHNOLOGY)
Advanced Ceramics Report, October, 2007
Findings by a team of researchers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and the University of Tennessee, both USA, have shown that single-walled carbon nanohorns, a particular form of engineered carbon-based nanoparticles, have potential use for drug delivery and other commercial applications.
Nanohorns are short, horn-shaped tubular structures capped with a conical tip. Individual nanohorns tend to cluster and form a Dahlia, or star-like, structure between 50 nm and 100 nm in diameter with the tips of individual nanohorns projecting outward from the center in all directions.
Ateam led by Meng-Dawn Cheng of ORNL's Environmental Sciences Division reported no pulmonary toxicity issues for single-walled carbon nanohorns. These findings are contrary...
