Tiny Robots Being Built To Search and Attack Cancer. Researchers have revealed that they are working on a tiny Nanoparticle called a 'Nanoporphyrin' which can diagnose and attack cancerous tumours. In a study published in Nature, researchers report that these tiny weaponised robots can both identify malignant cells and attack them immediately, in theory creating an all-in-one solution to the disease.
The team at the University of California's Davis Cancer Center said that their breakthrough could make revolutionary anti-cancer Nanotech affordable for the first time. Nanoparticles Nanoparticles can be made using inorganic or organic components. Each has different properties: Inorganic Nanoparticles often have unique properties that make them useful in applications such as fluorescence probes and magnetic resonance imaging tumour diagnoses; "Soft" organic Nanoparticles are the best…
