Easing fears about the smallest things
UD researchers helped determine that diamond nanoparticles - 8,000 times smaller than a blade of hair - are not toxic. Diamond nanoparticles may someday be used as nanorobots to carry drugs to certain parts of a damaged cell, where larger nanoparticles in the carbon family cannot reach; or as stronger coatings for bones and joints.
