There are some reports that fullerenes, the carbon
nano-particles, have dangerous health risks.
So, people who spend their life researching this for
labs are very motivated to produce a product from it
so their life's work brings them wealth, and are not
exactly incentivized to consider possible health risks.
They are already putting nanoparticles into clothing
and paint and other uses.
I hope we do not have millions of people getting cancer
so that some people can get rich from buckeyballs.
Why not just pay them off for doing research which is
positive?
