Preferred Label : Nanoshell;
NCIt definition : A nanoparticle composed of a metallic shell surrounding a semiconductor. When nanoshells
reach a target cancer cell, they can be irradiated with near-infrared light or excited
with a magnetic field; either of these exposures will cause the nanoshell to become
hot, thereby killing the cancer cell. The metal spheres can absorb or scatter light
at several wavelengths, making them well-suited for several clinical applications.;
