theomitsa · x · 2026-07-13
A forwarded post highlighted a Nature Chemistry paper: researchers developed a class of **tiny vibrating molecules activated by near-infrared light** that act like "miniature jackhammers" to destroy cancer cells. The post noted: - In in vitro experiments, these molecules killed **99%** of cancer cells; - In mouse trials, half of the subjects became **completely cancer-free**; - While still early-stage research, it points toward a new cancer treatment pathway with **fewer side effects**.
