A group of scientists and postgraduates from the Research and Educational Centre «Probe microscopy and Nanotechnology» (REC PM&N MIET) took part in NT11 International Conference on the Science and Application of Nanotubes. This year it was held in the city of Cambridge, UK. Scientists from more than 30 countries including England, Germany, France, China, Korea, Japan, Italy, USA, Mexico, Estonia, Finnland, Australia and other countries spoke at the Conference. Scientists from MIET made reports in the section devoted to biocompatibility of nanomaterials, medicine and toxicology.
