New biocompatible nanolaser could function inside living tissues.

Futuristic laser therapy is currently being investigated for numerous medical applications. Potential applications include the destruction of cancer cells, removing diseased tissue from delicate areas, blasting away toxic brain proteins, as well as acting as a biosensor to detect and monitor disease. However, miniaturizing and placing these devices inside the body at the site of disease greatly expands sensitivity and accuracy. Nanolaser doesn’t damage tissues … Continue reading New biocompatible nanolaser could function inside living tissues.
