Nanomachines can destroy cancer cells in less than three minutes
According to a study published in the journal Nature, chemists from three American and British universities have created Nanomachines capable of destroying cancer cells. These machines are so small that fifty thousand of them, glued together, would be about the width of a human hair. Each motorized Nanomachine is sensitive to a particular protein (ten different specimens have been created). When activated by light beams, they turn on themselves three million times per second, allowing them to pierce a cell. At Durham University, researchers tested their machines on prostate cancer cells and in less than three minutes one of these Nanomachines was able to destroy the cell. Researchers are experimenting with these machines with microorganisms and small fish to see if this is effective in a living organism. They are already experimenting with microorganisms and small fish and hope to be able to breed in rodents soon, before human clinical trials if animal testing is succ...
