"Molecular Jackhammers: Vibrational Therapy for Cancer Eradication"

TL;DR Summary
Scientists at Rice University have developed a groundbreaking method to destroy cancer cells using molecular vibrations, termed "molecular jackhammers", which rupture cancer cell membranes with a 99 percent success rate in lab cultures. By stimulating small dye molecules with near-infrared light, this new approach offers a faster and more effective way to treat cancer, utilizing the ability of molecules to vibrate strongly when exposed to light. The research, published in Nature Chemistry, represents a significant advancement in cancer therapy and holds promise for future medical innovation.
