Feynman is the father of nanotechnology, a Nobel-winning physicist,  inveterate prankster, charismatic speaker, gifted teacher and musician, Feynman (1918-1988) charmed plenty of contemporary and future scientists with accounts of his colorful personal and professional adventures in the bestselling “Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!” and explained the fundamentals of physics in “Six Easy Pieces.” He isted in the development of the atomic bomb at Los Alamos, expanded the understanding of quantum electrodynamics, translated Mayan …

Its proprietary system of therapy is based on injecting aminosilane-coated iron oxide nanoparticles into a tumor which has already been localized. These nanoparticles are then subjected to a high-frequency alternating magnetic field, causing them to vibrate and produce heat which then damages or destroys the tumor cells. Depending on the temperature attained within the tumor, the method may be used either as hyperthermia therapy in support of conventional forms of treatment (such as radiation and chemotherapy) or byitself as thermoablation for the direct destruction of tumor cells. This approach, now in clinical trials, may be used for many different types of solid tumors, as fundamentally all tumor cells may be damaged or destroyed at a certain temperature.
