Nanoceramics Cure Cancer, Make Hair Shiny

        Ceramic-magnetic nano particles are good for more than fighting cancerous tumors -- they also release ions that make hair smooth and shiny.
        Dr. Dennis Morrison developed nano ceramics, which could be formed into tiny balloons called micro capsules. These little balloons could be filled with cancer-fighting drugs and injected into solid tumors.
          Where, you're wondering, does space come into this process? In order to create the microscopic membrane around the liquid drugs, the micro capsules had to be formed in low-Earth orbit. Dr. Morrison's ceramic nano particles contained metals that would react when the patient was subjected to a magnetic field, like what's used in an MRI diagnostic machine. The capsules would melt, and the drugs would be released to fight the cancerous tumor.
         It turns out that Dr. Morrison's ceramic-magnetic particles were good for more than fighting tumors -- they could also fight frizz. When incorporated into Farouk Systems's hairstyling iron and heated, the nano particles released ions that made hair smooth and shiny.
