repeat after me people: do not get your science/medical info from the media. they're mostly idiots - wait for the peer reviewed literature.

From the article, this led to the saltwater being lit on fire that got so much press coverage a month or so ago. There might be something here, but it would be many, many years before it become real.

This is really interesting stuff. But I wonder, how much did this guy do? The 'machine' they talk about emits radiofrequency waves of a certin wavelength and strength, something that can be bought from a catalogue. Did he make the nanoparticles? Probably not, you can buy these nanoparticles from stores found via a simple online search. Did he find the radio frequency himself, or did he look up other studies that have been doing this since 2002, and just copy their procedures? Maybe I'm wrong, but I do not see anything novel from this article.

There is a lot of promise from respected academic institutions for using gold nanorods and nanoparticles for cancer therapeutics. On the other hand, few treatments ever get through clinical trials and are approved for use in mass populations.

For those interested, other universities that have been doing similar things include UCSF, Georgia Tech, and Purdue University.
