We'll be tackling the risks of nanoparticles and other particles more fully when Risk Bites launches formally in November. But until then, here's a roller-coaster ride of a video on what might be important when thinking about the risks and benefits or nanoparticles - or any other particles for that
The video is part of a larger MOOC called Introduction to Aerospace Structures and Materials offered by the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at TUDelft. The course is available on the edX platform (https://online-learning.tudelft.nl/courses/introduction-to-aerospace-structures-and-materials/).
In the screencast, the mechanism of radical substitution is explained using the example of the reaction ethane with bromine. This screencast is essentially used to follow up on the content worked on in class. Original: "Wolfgang Dukorn" Original: German. All translations in this video have been do

Radical substitution is an important reaction mechanism in organic chemistry. The essential terms are clarified and the mechanism is explained in detail. The difference between reaction mechanism and reaction equation is worked out. Original: "Wolfgang Dukorn" Original: German. All translations in
In the early 1900s, the Wright Brothers found inspiration for their first airplane in nature. Their "Flyer," which was modeled on a bird's flexible wing design, was steered and stabilized by pulleys and cables that twisted the wingtips. Despite its success, this control strategy quickly vanished fro
