IIT-Madras researchers develop carbon nanotube that kills cancer cells without affecting nearby cells
Q. IIT-Madras has discovered a ________ nanotube which kills cancer cells without impacting neighbour cells.- Published on 21 Dec 15a. Carbon
b. Silica
c. Hydrogen
d. Helium
ANSWER: Carbon
Indian Institute of Technology- Madras researchers have developed a carbon nanotube that kills cancer cells without impacting the neighbouring cells. Team has found carbon nanotubes measuring less than a single micron in length made by rolling graphene sheets used in photodynamic therapy. This type of therapy involves killing cancer cells without any toxic effect to the human body.
