We're already doing that; we produce nanoparticles of carbon from a number of industrial processes, most notably burning coal. IIRC there was an article on HN recently about finding some magnetic nanoparticles which had made their way into human brains.
- hinkley 10y agoDoesn't that make getting an MRI really really dangerous?
- M_Grey 10y agoActually IIRC the article described using MRI's to find those particles, but I don't exactly remember. Either way, no, they're just too small. What effect they have in the production of free radicals and the like though? Who knows yet.
