CEINT performs fundamental research on the behavior of nanoscale materials in laboratory and complex ecosystems. On twitter: https://twitter.com/CEINTnano
The Center for the Environmental Implications of NanoTechnology (CEINT) is exploring the relationship between a vast array of nanomaterials— from natural, to manufactured, to those produced incidentally by human activities— and their potential environmental exposure, biological effects, and ecological impacts. Headquartered at Duke University, CEINT is a collaborative effort bringing together rese
