Ultra-quick electric pulses KILLING cancer cells – Time for the world to pay close attention

For more than a decade, a team of cancer researchers at Old Dominion University (ODU) in Norfolk, Virginia have been studying a new type of cancer therapy that utilizes nano-second stimulation by ultra-fast electrical pulses to kill tumor cells, and now, after testing it out on mice, it’s working. Generating about 3 million pulses in […]

As scientists inch closer to fighting cancer with nanobots, would you embrace having programmable robots in your bloodstream?

Scientists and researchers from the University of Cambridge have revealed that they are currently developing nanotechnology that can “navigate” a patient’s body and help fight cancer. But this effort, while laudable, raises one question: is it feasible to develop this technology instead of merely promoting lifestyle changes that can also prevent cancer? Technology advances by leaps and […]
