We have devised a series of nanoscale cancer drug carriers that can release the stored drug molecules upon irradiation of hard X-rays in water and cells. Such release can reduce the dose of X-rays needed to kill cancer cells. A number of mechanisms have been created to allow efficient release of drugs and reduction of the X-ray dose.
