LOS ANGELES (YBH) – The U.S. Department of Energy-funded Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois has announced a promising breakthrough in cancer research. “A low-frequency field of a few tens of hertz applied for only ten minutes was sufficient to achieve [approximately] 90% cancer-cell destruction,” stated study co-author Elena Rezhova.

Iron alloy nanodiscs, only 60 billionths of a millimeter thick, were injected into laboratory mice at the site of cancer cells. The discs were then directed via magnetic pulses to move through the cells for the required 10 minutes, disrupting the tumor’s cell function and killing it.
Nanotechnology is the nascent but growing field targeting the control of matter on a molecular, even atomic, scale. Government regulation of nanotechnology is minimal. Nanoparticles are in many common items, from socks to tennis rackets, though the product is not required to be labeled as such. The long term health and safety implications of subatomic tinkering are unknown; it is currently presumed safe until proven otherwise.
