'Nanobubbles' kill cancer cells
Zap'em when you're close enough to see the bubbles Nanoparticles and lasers have proven both proven effective in targeting cancer cells, and now scientists have used them in concert to deliver death to diseased cells. Lasers that zap gold nanoparticles inside specific cells can either create small, bright bubbles to paint the target, or large bubbles that burst the cells. Such nanobubbles show up under microscopes and could allow scientists to better diagnose cancer cells, if not destroy them outright. Researchers have used nanobubbles in the past to blast plaque deposits that can clog arteries and cause heart attacks.
