One heat therapy to destroy cancer tumors using nanoparticles is called AuroShell. The AuroShell nanoparticles circulate through a patients bloodstream, exiting where the blood vessels are leaking at the site of cancer tumors.
Researchers from Empa and their Dutch co-workers have together developed a light-weight nano drive car, which is noiseless, emission-free and comprises a single molecule. It moves around on four wheels, which are powered by electricity, and can travel along a straight line on a copper surface.
