Use 'nano bubbles' to kill cancer cells
Researchers at Rice University in Houston, USA have succeeded in putting lasers and nanoparticles into "nano bubbles" to kill cancer cells.
By using this technology, scientists choose which cells carry the disease and then destroy them with small explosions.
They also conducted tests on cancer cells.
Accordingly, they control the laser to create bright, small, visible but harmless "bubbles" or large "bubbles" that can burn cells.
Physicist Dmitri Lapotko of the research project said that targeting single cells is one of the greatest benefits of nano medicine.
The idea of the research team is to treat premature unwell cells before the disease is severe.
