Silicon nanotubes are nanoparticles which create a tube like structure from silicon atoms. The nanotubes discovery has many significant results for electronics development, as silicon is already an important material in the semiconductor industry.Recently it has been possible to prepare these nanotubes which are similar to carbon nanotubes.There are various nanotechnology equipments such as carbon nanotubes,swnt,mwnt.Their is a company called nanoshel which provides all the nanotechnology equipments at competetive rates.

"NANOSHEL™ produces more than 50 types of nanotechnology products, among which the main products are Carbon Nanotubes, Metal and Alloy Nanoparticles, and Oxides and Allied nanoparticles and nanoparticles of high quality and purity. All the products are manufactured using Arc Discharge Method (Arc) method. The range of purity percentage of our carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is from 90% to 97%. We supply nanomaterials for commercial purposes as well as scientific research projects, from small quantities (grams) to larger quantities (kilograms)."
That from their website.

"What is the Health risk of Nanotubes if inhaled?
Nanotechnology is a rapidly advancing industry with many new products already available to the public. Therefore, it is essential to gain an understanding of the possible health risks associated with exposure to nanomaterials and to identify biomarkers of exposure. In humans and in other living organisms, they may move inside the body, reach the blood and organs such as the liver or the heart, and may also cross Cell membranes. Inhaled nanoparticles can deposit in the lungs and then potentially move to other organs such as the brain, the liver, and then spleen possibly the foetus in pregnant women. Some materials could become toxic if they are inhaled in the form of nanoparticles. Inhaled nanoparticles may cause lung inflammation and heart problems."
Its interesting but they don't really tell you much about anything other than they manufacture nanotubes. That's cool but what I want to know is how far we have come in overall efficiency in creating nanotubes (which are not only made out of silicon from this company) since we first discovered them, and how far we have to go before we really see the benefits in consumer products. Which I am guessing is still around 2025.
Good find
