I don't know what the result of that research was, but these guys seem to have picked up the ball and slam dunked it.

#3 Carbon nanotubes look to be extremely long lived molecules. I have a bad feeling if they can breech cell membranes. When nanotubes are mass produced and released into the environment, what toxins will they attach to and carry into cells?

#10 Oh, dear. I wasn't expecting the fishy conversions, JosephM. On the other hand, potable drinking water is already dangerously scant in the Middle East and near-Saharan Africa, and affecting population shifts. Sudan is as much about water rights as it is about jihadis doing what they've been doing since the seventh century.
