A team of researchers from the University of Stuttgart and the Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg led by Prof. Stefanie ...

Argonne National Laboratory has made extremely precise measurements of unstable ruthenium nuclei. The measurements are a ...

Researchers from the University of Southern California Information Sciences Institute and the University of Wisconsin-Madison fabricated a regenerative photonic latch memory on GlobalFoundries’ ...

Proton beam radiation therapy led to 10% more patients surviving cancer of the throat after 5 years compared to traditional X-ray radiation, a new study shows, with 15% fewer side effects. “With this ...

Photon therapy offers strong outcomes in treating oropharyngeal cancers; however, some radiation can reach and damage nearby healthy tissue. The damage can lead to side effects that may be severe for ...

There are few technologies more fundamental to modern life than the ability to control light with precision. From fiber-optic communications to quantum sensors, the manipulation of photons underpins ...

Researchers at Purdue University have achieved a long-sought milestone, demonstrating what they call a “photonic transistor” that operates at single-photon intensities. There are few technologies more ...

Background: The use of proton beam radiation therapy (PBT) has increased in patients diagnosed with sarcoma. However, there is a lack of information about its survival benefit in these patients.

A new transportable electron beam system was launched at the IAEA today, housed in shipping containers that can be loaned out for training or experiments. “This e-beam system is a cornerstone of our ...

Angus Chen covers all issues broadly related to cancer including drugs, policy, science, and equity. He joined STAT in 2021 after covering health and science at NPR and NPR affiliate stations. His ...

Abstract: In this study, a fiber-optic radiation sensor with an organic scintillator is fabricated to measure high-energy photon beam from a clinical linear accelerator (CLINAC) and a fiberoptic ...
