UCLA researchers have designed a laboratory test that uses microchip technology to predict how potentially hazardous nanomaterials could be. According to UCLA professor Huan Meng, certain engineered nanomaterials, such as non-purified carbon nanotubes that are used to strengthen commercial products, could have the potential to injure the lungs if inhaled during the manufacturing process. The […]
