Combining nanotubes and antibodies for breast cancer 'search and destroy' missions

cylinders of carbon about a nanometer in diameter -- have been highly touted for potential applications such as ultrastrong fibers, electrical wires in molecular devices, or hydrogen storage components for fuel cells. Thanks to a new development by researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology and five partners, you can add one more application to the list: detection and destruction of an aggressive form of breast cancer.
