The neutron irradiation system includes a negative ion, electrostatic, tandem accelerator-based neutron source and proven lithium target technology to generate a clinically optimal neutron spectrum ...

A distant neutron star has abruptly erupted in brightness, surging to roughly one hundred times its usual output and leaving astronomers scrambling to explain what could drive such a violent change.

HELSINKI and BOSTON, May 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Neutron Therapeutics LLC and the Helsinki University Hospital announce that they have treated the first cancer patients in a European hospital with ...

Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a targeted radiotherapeutic modality that exploits the nuclear reaction between boron-10 and low-energy thermal neutrons. This reaction produces high-linear ...

A new boron agent drastically improves the effectiveness of boron neutron capture therapy for glioblastoma, demonstrate researchers at Tokyo Tech. The agent is selectively absorbed by brain tumor ...

Measurements on neutron-rich nuclei help to refine models of how heavy elements came into existence Models for how heavy elements are produced within stars have become more accurate thanks to ...

A cancer treatment involving irradiated boron isotopes has been explored as a therapeutic option for several decades but with very little clinical success. But thanks to recent advances in technology, ...

Shortly after the discovery of the neutron in 1932, some scientists recognized the potential of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) as a cancer treatment. But despite decades of research, the problem ...

The origin of heavy elements such as gold, lead and uranium has not yet been fully clarified. The lightest elements – hydrogen and helium – were already formed in significant quantities with the Big ...
