New nanotechnology kills cancer cells

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 22 (UPI) -- U.S. scientists have discovered a nanocomposite particle that can be constructed to kill cancer cells with the help of a laser.

By combining an organic matrix with metallic clusters that can absorb light, researchers found it's possible to incorporate such particles into cells and then destroy those targeted cells with a laser.

The scientists from the NanoBiotecnology Center at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, N.Y., and the University of Michigan, were to present the research in Santa Clara, Calif., during the Nano Science and Technology Institute's Nanotech 2007 conference.
