Nanotubes and the tale of the rats
This Reuters report on how nanotubes will kill you (if you're a rat) was
a prelude to Nanotox 2004 next week in the U.K. The news conference was
a way to generate some media buzz in advance and get reporters all
jazzed up over an event at the Royal Microscopical Society. Of course,
Small Times' man in London will be there, so you can expect some
first-rate reporting, with proper context. The British scientists,
meanwhile, were telling rat tales, pointing to DuPont toxicologist David
Warheit's recent study on the toxicity of single-wall carbon nanotubes
in rats.

It's a male! Notes from my secret lab-OR-atry: Our experiment in bottom-up manufacturing has entered
a new phase, as this mass of molecules begins to look more and more "human." We have identified
gender. In the photograph at left, an arrow points toward a protrusion that I have code-named
"schmeckle," indicating that the creature is developing along male gender lines.
