How to measure the absorption of multi-walled carbon nanoparticles into worms and cancer cells? University of Michigan researchers have discovered it. It is a breakthrough that will surely revolutionize scientists’ understanding of how the particles impact the living environment.
Nanotubes are one of the most promising nanomaterials developed to date. A team led by U-M chemical engineering professor Walter J. Weber Jr. tagged multi-walled carbon nanotubes with the carbon-14 radioactive isotope. And as they were absorbed into living cells, it enabled the nanotubes to be tracked and quantified.
