Scientists Destroy 99% of Cancer Cells in Lab Using Vibrating Molecules
Researchers have developed a 'molecular jackhammer' technique that uses near-infrared light to vibrate synthetic dye molecules, effectively destroying cancer cells in lab and animal models. This mechanical approach offers a potential alternative to traditional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation.
Why it matters
This breakthrough could lead to highly precise cancer treatments that are less prone to drug resistance, though human clinical trials are still required to confirm efficacy.
Add ScienceAlert on Google (STEVE GSCHMEISSNER/Science Photo Library/Getty Images) Scientists may have found a way to destroy cancer cells without initially relying on chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation.
