Amazing Nanobombs

A nanobomb is a really really really really realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly tiny bomb. It was invented by Balaji Panchapakesan in November of 2005 to help cure cancer. These nanobombs are used hand-in-hand with Carbon nanotubes and placed into cancerous tumors. Nanobombs go off to create tiny explosions to kill the cancerous cells that make up the tumor. The nanobombs are noninvasive, nontoxic, and the explosions just feel like a pin prick to the patient! The nanobomb specifically has a bright future in the curing breat cancer cells. This is because the shockwave that nanobombs illicit not only kill cancerous cells, but kills the cell-to-cell communication pathway of cancer cells that lead to the proliferation of new cancer cells. Nanobombs also cut off the nutrients that cancer cells need to survive by resticting angiogenesis. nanobomb I predict that Panchapakesan (although no one will be able to say his name) will be an extremely rich man in the near future because the expenditure of cancer is extremely high. In 1995, all cancer-related costs of the National Institute of Health summed up to approximately $210 billion.
