[Harvard] Harvard researchers convert photons; could be used to fight cancer - Harvard - 2019-04-08 Harvard researchers convert photons; could be used to fight cancer Harvard researchers are using a chemical process known as triplet fusion upconversion to transform near-infrared photons into high-energy photons. The high-energy photons could be used in a huge range of applications, including a new type of precisely targeted chemotherapy, in which low-energy infrared lasers that penetrate deep into the body could be used to transform innocuous compounds into cancer-fighting drugs. https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2019/02/harvard-researchers-convert-photons-could-be-used-to-fight-cancer/?utm_medium=Feed&utm_source=Syndication |
