Chemist Examine Impact of Carbon Nanotubes in Aquatic Environments

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-which resemble tiny rolls of chicken wire-are used in electronics, optics and other products because of their unusual strength and electrical conductivity. CNT's are also being used for drug delivery. But an engineer and a chemist affiliated with the Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology have teamed up to study the ways that nanotubes could transport harmful toxins in aquatic environments.
