So, it is very much putting the beam precisely into the tumour and not going into the sensitive organ. all kinds of cancer treatments risk harming healthy tissue near the tumour and research is ongoing around the world to try and minimise this collateral damage. there has been at least one recent, ratherstrange, finding. it is to do with how quickly and how hard you deliver the dose of radiation, and it is called the flash effect. so, you deliver the radiation in a very intense burst to the tumo...

Regularly for inspection, maintenance and repair tasks in the accelerator complex. it has these meccano wheels so that it can move side to side easily. so, we might send robots to an area where a human might not want to go either due to risk of some oxygen depletion or some gas leaks or even if there is presence of radiation. it has got lots of different sensors on it. mostly we use cameras. this is to give what we call tele—presence so the operator has a more intuitive way of controlling and ...

Into a patient, obviously you want to use it to kill the tumour, but it goes through normal healthy tissue, and that gives rise to the side effects. that is what makes patients ill, and if you can reduce the side effects to the normal tissue then you can improve quality of life after the treatment. protons being particles slow down as they enter the tissue, and they stop within the tumour and do not go any further. x—rays dont stop and so they damage the healthy tissue both in front and behind...

It has these meccano wheels so that it can move side to side easily. so, we might send robots to an area where a human might not want to go either due to risk of some oxygen depletion or some gas leaks or even if there is presence of radiation. it has got lots of different sensors on it. mostly we use cameras. this is to give what we call tele—presence so the operator has a more intuitive way of controlling and interacting with the robot. so, here you are looking at the beginnings of the proto...

Where its radiation or lack of oxygen. it has different sensors. we mostly use cameras to provide telly since, im more intuitive way of controlling the robot. so, here you are looking at the beginnings of the prototype of the fcc robot, this is where the fcc robot, this is where the future of cern is going, to build a new accelerator and in that environment what would be an important is that too you can use but also first responders. this is an awful robotic system we are building which will ins...

Circumference and robots will be important as tools you can use for inspection, maintenance and repair but also as first responders. this is a novel robotic system that will give acceleration to the beam and it is important that the inner surface is perfectly machined and so we built this robotic system to take thousands of close—up photos using a liquid lens camera. here you have crane bot and this is useful if we need to access an area that is cluttered so when you drop it down from a crane ...

See the starter. they came to see johnny bench. its a really fun new book. its titled the tao of the backup catcher, playing baseball for the love of the game. tim brown, congratulations on the book. thanks for being here today. >> thanks, willie. have a great day. >> and thats it for us. well be back life this monday at 6 am, eastern time. have a great rest of the weekend. wed. >> this is the katie phang show, live from miami, florida. weve got lots of news to cover and lots of questions to ans...

At the beginnings of the prototype of the fcc robot. this could be where the future of cern is going — to build a new accelerator 100 kilometres in circumference, and in that accelerator environment, robots will be really important both as tools you can use for inspection, maintenance and repair, but also as first responders. this is a novel robotic system we are building that will inspect the inside of radio frequency cavities that give acceleration to the beam, and it is really important tha...

Goes through normal healthy tissue and that gives rise to the side effects. protons are being particles, slow down as they enter the tissue, and they stop within the tumour and dont go any further. end tumour and dont go any further. and that means — tumour and dont go any further. and that means that this form of radiotherapy can be used in a really tricky parts of the body. for example. — tricky parts of the body. fe“ example, something like the brainstem, which we know it is very sensit...
