Nano particals are very, very small compounds they are barely seen with a high powered microscope. It's hard to believe that it takes less than 10 minutes to make one.
"Nano technology is something that we work with very tiny things," said Nano Chemist Dr. Dhruba Burali.
Burali is working with nano-particles called nano carriers, they're designed like tiny missiles that contain cancer killing drugs. The carriers locate the cancer, unload a medication right into the cells which wipes out the cancer, it's referred to as tumor targeting technology.
"It can actually stay in the circulation for a longer time and at the same time it can actually slick into the site and deliver toxic material to cancer," said Bharali.
