TL;DR: BNNTs induced extensive multinucleated giant cell formation in macrophages and increased levels of eosinophilia in fibroblasts, and the toxicity of tubular nanomaterials to be strongly correlated with the cellular accumulation enhanced for straight nanotubes.

TL;DR: The role of the catalyst and the catalyst support is discussed, and the recent results obtained from the water assisted growth and the equimolar C2H2-CO2 reaction are discussed.

TL;DR: A general catalyst design is presented to synthesize ultrahigh density, aligned forests of carbon nanotubes by cyclic deposition and annealing of catalyst thin films, which leads to nanotube forests with an area density over 1 order of magnitude higher than existing values, and close to the limit of a fully dense forest.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of boron nitride (BN) nanotubes (BNNTs) on the viability and metabolic status of different cell types were investigated, on the one hand, the effects on cells present in the lung alveoli, and on the other hand, on human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells.

TL;DR: A novel morphology for solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells based on the simple and straightforward self-assembly of nanorods into a 3D fibrous network of fused single-crystalline anatase nanowires is presented.
