Examples

“PFC vaporizes when hit with an ultrasound pulse, producing rapidly expanding gas bubbles that "fire" the nanobullets out of the microcannons at speeds on the order⟳ of meters per second -- and the fluorescent microbullets light⟳ up to show⟳ exactly where they landed in the tissue target⟳.”

“When an ultrasonic beam is fired at the microcannons, the emulsion evaporates, expanding rapidly into gas. This creates enough force⟳ to push⟳ the nanobullets out at velocities reaching several metres per second.”

“A nanobullet comprising of multifunctional Janus nanocomposites (a head of magnetic Fe₃O₄ and a body of mesoporous SiO₂ containing doxorubicin) is reported to be a safe and efficient treatment for liver cancer.”
