Vibrating Nanodroplets May Invade A Tumor

Sending tiny droplets to a tumor and having them vaporized using focused ultrasound: it could be a new way of tracing a tumor or deliver drugs locally. Researchers of the University of Twente now demonstrate a new phenomenon triggering droplet vaporization: it happens at the exact acoustic resonance frequency and causes fast and efficient lowering of the pressure inside the droplet, until below...
