The Ocean Side Young Men's notable hit single "Great Vibrations" takes on an entirely different layer of importance because of a new revelation by Rice College researchers and teammates, who have revealed a method for obliterating malignant growth cells by utilizing the capacity of certain particles to vibrate firmly when invigorated by light. When stimulated by near-infrared light, the atoms of a small dye molecule used for medical imaging can vibrate in unison—known as a plasmon—rupturing the cell membrane of cancerous cells, as the researchers discovered. The method was found to be effective against lab cultures of human melanoma cells
