UM: Nanotech

A National Research Council committee report finds the government isn’t doing enough to ensure the safety of nanotech products, according to an article in the San Francisco Chronicle. Martin Philbert, a UM toxicology professor and vice chair of the committee, says more safety research is needed: “It’s not always the most exciting science. But it may be the most necessary science to ensure stability and health of the environment and the public.” [Source]
