#CHIPS: "Graphene Confirmed as Health Hazard"

Carbon is the wonder material that will increase speeds, decrease power and make mobile electronic devices as lightweight as styrofoam, according to semiconductor futurists. Unfortunately, its nanoscale dimensions also makes it a hazardous material that workers and users must be protected against inhaling. Carbon nanotubes are already on the hazardous materials list, and now Brown University researchers say that graphene--the flattened out planar version of carbon nanotubes--should also be classified a hazardous material: R.

Graphene fragment with sharp corner pierces a human cell after which it gets sucked inside where it disrupts the cells internal functions.
