Not snake oil, gold dust

I really hope this:

According to a report due to be released in Decemeber in the American Cancer Society's Journal, Cancer, during the experiment, six rabbits with liver tumors were injected with a nanoparticle solution and placed inside Kanzius' radio-frequency machine. Two minutes later, the tumors were completely gone and there was no major damage to the surrounding healthy cells, according to the report. -- [link via Steve Dekorte again :-)]

turns out to be geniune. The biggest question for me, not answered by the MSNBC article, is why the gold or carbon nanoparticles choose to attach to the cancer cells. To a layman that's not an obvious behaviour.
