A new brain implant developed by researchers at Stanford Medicine uses infrared light to activate nanoparticles in the device that generates heat and zaps malignant cancerous tumors.

The brain implant would be used to shrink the deadly mass during 15-minute treatments over a 15-day consecutive period.

The device would be implanted in between the skin and skull.

The temperature of the brain implant increases up 40 degrees Fahrenheit, the temperature scientist contend kills cancer cells without damaging surrounding brain tissue.
