The advent of flattening filter free (FFF) photon beam radiotherapy marks a significant evolution in external beam treatments. By removing the traditional flattening filter from linear accelerators, ...

Physicists have engineered photons that behave as if they inhabit a space far richer than the familiar three dimensions, ...

Photon beams have long served as a precise probe into the subatomic world, offering unique insights into the structure and dynamics of nucleons. In photoproduction experiments, high-energy photons ...

A new era of science is ready to begin. On June 17, 2024, the Advanced Photon Source at National Laboratory delivered a landmark set of X-ray light beams as part of a comprehensive and complex upgrade ...

Romanian scientists have discovered a novel approach for the optical manipulation of macromolecules and biological cells. Their findings, published in EPJ B, stem from challenging the idea that ...

LEMONT, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A new set of electron beam measurements puts the upgraded Advanced Photon Source (APS) at the top of the list of the world’s synchrotron X-ray research facilities. The ...

A single atom as a movable slit: Researchers realize Einstein's thought experiment in original form, observing ...

Quality of life (QoL) in osteosarcoma: First results of the presurgery treatment period of EURAMOS-1 (NCT00134030). Background: Chordoma is a rare bone tumor. Radical surgery is standard treatment, ...

For quantum communication to work, light sources must emit photons one at a time, not in random bunches. Several materials ...

One of the main tasks of the IAEA Dosimetry and Medical Radiation Physics Section is the development of Codes of Practice, or protocols, for the dosimetry of external beams used in radiotherapy. The ...

Despite being considered well established, the physics of optical waves have some fundamental aspects, which are still under debate. One of these effects, the anomalous behaviour of focused light ...
