- Cyanine dyes vibrate at up to 40 trillion oscillations per second when exposed to near-infrared light.
- Anything that is surrounded by the molecules will be disassembled very quickly.
- The researchers call this as the “molecular jackhammer” effect.
- The molecular jackhammer on human melanoma cells they were able to destroy 100% of them.
