Rapid proton irradiation is a more efficient and minimally invasive treatment for cancer than X-rays. Modern proton treatment, on the other hand, necessitates huge particle accelerators, prompting researchers to look into alternate accelerator technologies such as laser systems to boost protons. In preclinical investigations, such systems are used to pave the path for the most effective radiation therapy.
Irradiation with fast protons is a more effective and less invasive cancer treatment than X-rays. However, modern proton therapy requires large particle accelerators, which has experts investigating alternative accelerator concepts, such as laser systems to accelerate protons.
The Sun is blanketed by spiking, ultra-hot jets of plasma created from electrically charged particles, and now scientists have figured out more about how these jets (or spicules) are created and driven up into the star's atmosphere.
When mid-infrared laser pulses collide with certain complex materials, their fundamental properties can shift dramatically.
This International Women's Day, AZoCleantech spoke to inspiring women who have made a difference in the Clean Technology field. They share their experiences of working in STEM, their key achievements, any future projects they are working on, and the importance of breaking the bias to develop an equa
