The people of Hong Kong are protesting in record-breaking numbers.
The protester says “They are not doing this for themselves, but for the future of Hong Kong.” Hundreds of thousands of Hongkongers have taken to the streets to protest a controversial extradition bill that could send Hong Kong residents to mainland China to be tried in court. Hong Kong’s Chief Executive, Carrie Lam, says the bill is meant to prevent Hong Kong from becoming a safe haven for fugitives. But its opponents fear that Hong Kong would be exposed to China’s flawed judicial system, which would lead to further erasure of the city’s judicial independence. At first Lam was determined to move forward with the bill. But after a series of massive protests, she announced she would “indefinitely suspend” the bill. But protesters aren’t accepting the suspension, and have started demanding its complete withdrawal. They’ve also begun calling for Lam’s resignation. But this rise in tensions is about a lot more than a bill. To understand why this bill hits a nerve with Hongkongers, it’s important to understand Hong Kong’s relationship with China – and exactly how the bill would tip the scales in China’s favor. Watch this video to understand the news coming out of Hong Kong and the history that led up to this moment.

Carbon nanotubes and graphene are both low-dimensional sp2 carbon nanomaterials exhibiting many unique physical and chemical properties that are interesting in a wide range of areas including nanomedicine. Since 2004, carbon nanotubes have been extensively explored as drug delivery carriers for the intracellular transport of chemotherapy drugs, proteins, and genes. In vivo cancer treatment with carbon nanotubes has been demonstrated in animal experiments by several different groups. Recently, graphene, another allotrope of carbon, has also shown promise in various biomedical applications. In this article, we will highlight recent research on these two categories of closely related carbon nanomaterials for applications in drug delivery and cancer therapy, and discuss the opportunities and challenges in this rapidly growing field.
In the past decade, the rapid development of nanotechnology has brought many fascinating ideas and opportunities to disease diagnosis and treatment. sp2 carbon nanomaterials, notably zero-dimensional (0D) fullerenes, 1D carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and 2D graphene, have gained significant interest from various fields and generated huge impacts in the materials research community since their discovery in 1985, 1991, and 2004, respectively1, 2, 3. Graphene is a mono-layered sp2–bonded carbon sheet. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) are cylindrical tubes of sp2 carbon, conceptualized by rolling up single- or multi-layered graphene, respectively. Potential applications of these carbon nanomaterials span disciplines including nano-electronics, composite materials, energy research, and biomedicine4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
Fullerenes and their derivatives can serve as drug delivery vehicles, and in certain circumstances, as nano-drugs by themselves10, 11, 12. CNTs have been developed as novel biosensing platforms to detect different biological targets and as nano-probes for biomedical imaging8, 13, 14. Functionalized CNTs can be used as molecular carriers for in vitro and in vivo drug delivery, and have been primarily employed for applications in cancer treatment8.
