Not that the Big Pharma industry will like this, but wow. What should also be noted is that despite what the loony right wing says in the US, studies like this are done by global groups. In this case including, France, UK and US. How foolish does someone have to be to think the US stands alone in technological advancements? Just because a loon who has never experienced anything outside of the US says the US is number one in everything, doesn't mean that it's true. Smart people (and stupid people) can be found anywhere.

Tiny magnetic discs just a millionth of a metre in diameter could be used to used to kill cancer cells, according to a study published on Sunday.
Laboratory tests found the so-called "nanodiscs", around 60 billionths of a metre thick, could be used to disrupt the membranes of cancer cells, causing them to self-destruct.
The discs are made from an iron-nickel alloy, which move when subjected to a magnetic field, damaging the cancer cells, the report published in Nature Materials said.
