Futurity

“Certain colors of light penetrate tissue deeper than other ones,” says Thomas O’Sullivan, associate professor of electrical engineering at the University of Notre Dame and coauthor on the paper. 

Interesting Engineering

Researchers at the University of Notre Dame have created a wireless, implantable LED device for the treatment of “deep-seated cancers.”

Light therapy has been effective in treating surface and nearby skin cancers when used with a light-activated drug. However, cancers situated deep within the body, surrounded by tissue, blood, and bone, have been difficult to treat using light. To address this challenge, engineers and scientists at the University of Notre Dame have developed an implantable wireless LED device.

Bradley Smith, who is also the director of Notre Dame’s Integrated Imaging Facility, was perplexed when Canjia Zhai and Cassandra Shaffer, two doctoral students in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, found they had altered the structure of particles of silica—the primary component of sand—at 80 °C, or about the same as the temperature of a cup of coffee.

"If you take sand and heat it to 500 degrees Celsius, nothing changes," said Bradley Smith, the Emil T. Hofman Professor of Science at the University of Notre Dame.
