A closer look
Why politely ask a diseased cell to die when you can essentially detonate a microscopic bomb inside it? By injecting gold nanoparticles and blasting them with precisely tuned lasers, scientists trigger a violent localized heating effect. This vaporizes the surrounding liquid in nanoseconds, creating explosive plasmonic nanobubbles that physically shred the target cells apart from the inside out, offering a brutal but highly effective mechanical approach to targeted disease therapy.
