May, 2009 Nano Research: Nano Research is a peer-reviewed, international and interdisciplinary research journal that focuses on all aspects of nanoscience and nanotechnology.  The May 2009 issue reports on research done in support of the Kanzius Non-invasive Radio Wave Cancer Treatment.  The Abstract states: Capacitively coupled shortwave radiofrequency fields resistively heat low concentrations of gold nanoparticles.  Smaller diameter gold nanoparticles heat at nearly twice the rate of larger diameter gold nanoparticles, which is attributed to the higher resistivity of smaller gold nanostructures.  A Joule heating model has been developed to explain this phenomenon and provides critical insights into the rational design and engineering of nanoscale materials for noninvasive thermal therapy of cancer.  By quantifying the amount of heat produced by gold nanoparticles as a function of size and concentration, this study establishes the critical design metrics necessary for formulating RF responsive nanoscale materials to enhance the noninvasive thermal destruction of cancer.
