And “nanotextured stainless steel”?

Asbestos is just… rock.

Yes. They etched stainless steel.

I'm not seeing the comparison to asbestos which is dangerous regardless of form.

Asbestos is dangerous because of its form. It isn’t inherently toxic, it just pokes your lung tissues to death.

This is why I find a new material with “nanoprotrusions measuring 20–30 nm” in an article talking about “nanodaggers” killing cells somewhat concerning.

Specifically SiO2 which does not dissolve

Is rock safe?

Against scissors, yes.
