This image shows the co-crystallization of nanomaterial that could potentially be used to fight cancer cells.

Cancer results in adverse effects on the human body due to the genetic changes it elicits, interfering with cell growth and organ function. Through co-crystallization of nanomaterial as depicted in the image above, it is possible to penetrate and kill cancer cells safely which could save many lives in the futur.
