Bragging Rights, Round 2

Not too long ago, I posted about my sister winning an international grant writing competition. Well, today, I get to brag on the other sister: she's just been published--AGAIN.

It's her second paper on nanotechnology - you know, that fairly new scientific study of, well, tiny, tiny, tiny particulate matter? (Click here for a more robust definition, provided by Wikipedia.)

Very basically, they studied whether you could inhale nanoparticles that you'd made if you used standard lab equipment. That's what air quality environmental engineers do. They wanna know what the air quality is like.

And really, who'd want to inhale a fullerene (a.k.a., a buckyball in some instances) or a carbon nanotube? So you have some idea, here's a fullerene:
And here's a carbon nanotube:

If you're interested, you can read said article in the May 14 issue of Environmental Science Technology, published by the American Chemical Society.

Congrats, little sis!
