Scientists expect very big things for buckyballs, the microscopic, soccer-ball-shaped molecules of pure carbon that are vital to the promising field of nanotechnology. A new study, however, has raised concerns about their possible toxicity.

While it isn't known whether buckyballs could pose a danger to humans, the study urges further investigation of the fledgling technology's potential risks. --David Bjerklie
