Scientists from California and Massachusetts have made what they call a “cocktail” which is made of different nanometer sized particles. These particles have been put together because together they kill cancerous tumors. This “cocktail” contains two different nanomaterials. One is to find the tumors the other is to kill the tumors. Before they made this “cocktail” [...]
