UT Arlington team magnetizes carbon nanoparticles for cancer therapy

A team of University of Texas at Arlington researchers have developed a method that uses magnetic carbon nanoparticles to target and destroy cancer cells through laser therapy - a treatment they believe could be effective in cases of skin and other cancers without damaging surrounding healthy cells.

A paper about the work by Ali R. Koymen, professor of physics, and Samarendra Mohanty,...
