Light is usually treated as something simple, a clean beam that either shines or does not. At the quantum level, however, ...

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

Tiny tubes of carbon that emit single photons from just one point along their length have been made in a deterministic manner ...

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, ...

Photon therapy offers strong outcomes in treating oropharyngeal cancers; however, some radiation can reach and damage nearby ...

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 ...

The High Energy Photon Source (HEPS), China’s flagship synchrotron radiation facility, has officially begun its joint-commissioning phase after successfully completing photon beam commissioning, the ...

Papilio5D is an advanced light-sheet microscope that delivers fast, gentle, and high-resolution imaging for live samples.

Dr. Ma believes that the better survival with proton therapy may be due to fewer side effects and less stress on the body’s ...

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 ...

WASHINGTON, September 30, 2024 — People with low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer treated with either of two types of contemporary radiation therapy — proton beam therapy or intensity modulated ...

A new discovery shows that messy, stray light can be used to clean up quantum systems instead of disrupting them. University ...
