Artificial intelligence improves control of powerful plasma accelerators Researchers have used AI to control beams for the next generation of smaller, cheaper accelerators for research, medical and industrial applications. Experiments led by Imperial College London researchers, using the Science and Technology Facilities Council's Central Laser Facility (CLF), showed that an algorithm was able to tune the complex parameters involved in controlling the next generation of plasma-based particle accelerators. The algorithm was able to optimize the accelerator much more quickly than a human operat...

The plasma source for the accelerator Researchers have used AI to control beams for the next generation of smaller, cheaper accelerators for research, medical and industrial applications. Experiments led by Imperial College London researchers, using the Science and Technology Facilities Council’s Central Laser Facility (CLF), showed that an algorithm was able to tune the complex parameters involved in controlling the next generation of plasma-based particle accelerators. The techniques we have developed will be instrumental in getting the most out of a new generation of advanced plasma acce...

10 Dec 2020 Share: Targeted cancer treatment just got a navigation system. A research team from Leeds has successfully wrapped what might otherwise be toxic anti-cancer agent in what are effectively pre-programmed microbubbles. Drug-laden microbubbles are attracted to the site of the tumour using specialist antibodies before being popped to release a targeted and highly precise dose using a pulse of ultrasound.  Image: Microbubbles carry the anticancer drug to the site of the tumour. Antibodies attached to the microbubbles are attracted to the growth hormone found around cancer cells....
