Great News/ Scientists destroy 99% of cancer cells in LAB using light activated molecular jackhammers

Researchers from Rice, Texas A&M, and the University of Texas found a novel method to eliminate cancer cells. They used near-infrared light to trigger synchronized vibrations in aminocyanine molecules, effectively rupturing cell membranes.

According to the study, Nature Chemistry reports a 99% efficiency in destroying human melanoma cells using a new method. Researchers, led by Rice chemist James Tour, discovered a faster approach, akin to molecular jackhammers, utilizing light-activated nanoscale compounds. This innovation is a million times swifter than previous attempts using Feringa motors. /pubity
