Image of the Month: Carbon nanotubes as cancer-fighting tools
![Dr. Stuart Corr of the Baylor department of surgery is working with these single-walled carbon nanotubes that, when dispersed in an aqueous solution and exposed to a radio frequency electric field, start to bundle together and form 'ropes' within the solution. Further, these ropes generate heat a great deal of heat that might be used to kill targeted cancer cells.](https://blogs.bcm.edu/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/nanotubes.jpg?w=286)
