Straight from the teapot, a golden anti-cancer brew | Mail Online:
"Teapots could be used to brew ‘golden’ anti-cancer drugs, scientists believe.
Researchers have used a pot of Darjeeling to turn gold salts into tiny particles of gold, capable of easing their way into cancerous cells.
The golden nanoparticles, each thousands of times smaller than the width of a human hair, could be used to zap tumours, the U.S. researchers say.
The method is ‘greener’ than existing ways of making gold nanoparticles, with the only by-product being ‘some slightly dodgy-tasting gold tea’."
