Article on Nanoparticles

[Jason]

This article is quite interesting about nanoparticles and all the different ways they're used. I think you'll be surprised as I was.

Thanks Jason. That was a good article, since it dealt with the apparently false fear some people have about nanoparticles used in vaccines.

[Jason]

Yeah, that surprised me a bit. I've never heard of the work 'nanoparticles' used in relation to vaccines. Have you? I can see how hearing it might the technology-hesitant crowd. I wonder if it's because a similar word, "nanites" which only exist in science fiction, disturbs them. In the sci-fi novels I've read and movies I've seen, they're robots that can fix people from the inside repairing tissues and such but then they run amok.

Nanoparticles in vaccines was news to me as well.
