Comments & Suggestions

Modern industrial revolution: Carbon age

Invention > development > product takes only a few years

Highest performance values to humankind

But…. Incomplete belief of “Material

of the Future“: Industrial problems need hybrid&complex solutions

So, be patient Nanotoxicology of graphene? So, be careful!...

100 years old inspiration from radioactivity

400,000 bottle Radithor sold in five years; Billionaire Eben MacBurney Byers consumed 1500 ones in four years

Cause of Byers’ death: “…was stated to be necrosis of the jaw, abscess of the brain…”

How, why?

The End

Thanks…Questions?...
