Particle therapy using a mix of carbon-, oxygen- and neon-ion beams helps tune the fine balance between range robustness, ...

Helium ion beam therapy is a re-emerging radiotherapy modality for the treatment of cancer, initially studied in the mid-20th century alongside other charged particle beams. Shutdown of these clinical ...

Cancer-busting particle beams have been caught in the act. Particle beams can provide a blast of destructive energy directly to tumors — assuming the beam is in the right place. Now, using a ...

There are a large number of surface engineering processes which are used in the treatment of metals ranging from deposition of relatively thick coatings (>1mm) by weld overlaying to very thin surface ...

The research project “BARB – Biomedical Applications of Radioactive Ion Beams” funded by a prestigious ERC Advanced Grant to Professor Marco Durante, head of the Biophysics Department at the GSI ...
