Silicon semiconductors are widely used as particle detectors; however, their long-term operation is constrained by ...
A new imaging technique developed at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) shows promise for detecting deadly forms of lung cancer and prostate cancer. The technology uses a radioactive ...
The research project “BARB – Biomedical Applications of Radioactive Ion Beams” funded by a prestigious ERC Advanced Grant to Professor Marco Durante, head of the Biophysics Department at the GSI ...
Cancer-busting particle beams have been caught in the act. Particle beams can provide a blast of destructive energy directly to tumors — assuming the beam is in the right place. Now, using a ...
Discover the fascinating process of radioactive decay, where unstable atoms transform, releasing energy in the form of alpha, beta, and gamma emissions.
The waste could be used for nuclear fusion, say researchers. Although nuclear fission, which powers nuclear reactors, can provide plenty of energy, it also produces potentially dangerous radioactive ...
A research project has reached an important milestone: the first treatment of an animal tumor with radioactive ion beams has been demonstrated and published in Nature Physics. Subscribe to our ...
If you have ever had a PET scan at a hospital or heard about radiation treatment for cancer or brain tumours, there's a good chance a cyclotron was involved. But what is a cyclotron and how is it used ...
