'60 Minutes': Testing the Kanzius machine Video Transcript
>> Today the Kansas machine is in the laboratories of two major research centers, the University of Pittsburgh and MD Anderson where Doctor Steven Curly [assumed spelling] a liver cancer surgeon is testing it.
>> Steven: This technology may allow us to treat just about any kind of cancer you can imagine.
>> You mean every cancer, pancreas, Leukemia, Lymphoma, breast cancer, everything?
>> Steven: Everything, I've got to tell you in 20 years of research this is the most exciting thing that I've encountered.
>> That's because Kansas impressed Curly with another remarkable idea, to combine the radio waves from his device with something cutting-edge, space age Nano particles made of metal or carbon. They are so small that thousands of them can fit in a single cancer cell. Because they're metallic Kansas was hoping his radio waves would heat them up and kill the cancer.
>> Steven: These Nano particles work then we truly have something huge here. There's trillions of them in there.
>> Trillions of Nano particles in there?
>> Steven: Right
>> Trillions. And on an August day in 2005 Curly and Kansas put them to the test. Would the metallic Nano particles heat up enough to kill cancer?
>> Steven: Well, we take the Nano particles and we put them in the radio field and in about 15 seconds they're boiling and heating. This is a dream come true.
>> Yeah
>> Steven: We had conquered something that had never been done before, heating Nano particles in a radio frequency field. ^E00:01:39
