Promising new therapy for inoperable brain cancers
Magnetic nanoparticle could be used in combination with radiation treatment and heat therapy to kill cancer cells
Australian scientists have made progress on a potential new approach that could be used to treat some of the most deadly brain cancers.
A new magnetic nanoparticle could be used in combination with radiation treatment and heat therapy to kill cancer cells, according to new research from the University of Wollongong and ANSTO.
The lead researchers from UOW and its clinical partners collaborated with ANSTO’s Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering to study the magnetic properties of the nanoparticles.

New sodium oxide paves way for advanced sodium-ion batteries
Fri, 02/12/2021 - 09:52 Paul Crompton
A multi-national team of scientists have found a mixed sodium oxide, patented by vehicle OEM Renault, could be a promising sodium-ion cathode material.
A team made of researchers from Russia, France, the US, Switzerland, and Australia created and mixed a Na(Li
1/3Mn
2 oxide they believe could one day complement, or replace, lithium-ion batteries.
The team found the compound showed promise as a cathode material with high energy density, no voltage fade over multiple charge cycles, and moisture stability.

Skoltech researchers and their collaborators from France, the US, Switzerland, and Australia were able to create and describe a mixed oxide Na(Li1/3Mn2/3)O2 that holds promise as a cathode material for sodium-ion batteries, which can take one day complement or even replace lithium-ion batteries. The paper was published in the journal
Nature Materials.
Lithium-ion batteries are powering the modern world of consumer devices and driving a revolution in electric transportation. But since lithium is rather rare and challenging to extract from an environmental standpoint, researchers and engineers have been looking for more sustainable and cost-effective alternatives for quite some time now.
