Nanobomb Creates Massive Explosion On Tiny Scale

[Bud Brewster]

Here's the part that makes the article well-worth reading.

A possible use could be, of course, destroying very small things.

One idea calls for carbon nanotubes filled with water to be inserted into cancer cells and then heated up with lasers until they explode, functioning as a nanobomb that damages only the harmful tissue.

"Buckybombs", with their great explosive potential, could be an even deadlier weapon in a war against cancer, viruses, or bacteria, where their tremendous force and small size destroy small targets and leave the rest of the human intact.

They could have nanites carry these things to the cancerous growth, plant the charge (so to speak), and blow up the bad guys! I mean. . . the bad cells.

Cool!
