When I look back at 2023 and consider UCS’s advocacy around the federal Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA), I feel like it was a year of tears. Over the next 23 years, more communities would discover that they, too, had been exposed to radiation from testing, mining, and nuclear waste.

An international team of physicists has created what might seem like a contradiction in terms: a non-radiating source of electromagnetism. Maxwell’s equations tell us that accelerating charges radiate energy in the form of electromagnetic waves. cm above the non-radiating source prototype.

The team, led by Dongfang Zhang and Franz Kärtner at the Center for Free-Electron Laser Science in Hamburg, created their instrument by compressing bunches of electrons to ultra-short durations, using millimetre-wavelength terahertz radiation. Terahertz manipulation. Highly synchronized. The instrument is described in Ultrafast Science.

Due to breathing motion, lung tumours move during stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Scatter imaging, which collects photons scattered out of the radiation therapy beam, is a potential technique for real-time tracking of lung tumours. His research focuses on developing novel imaging techniques to guide radiation therapy.

Citing the ESTRO 2022 programme, she noted that many researchers are already developing adaptation and personalization for every part of the radiation treatment chain. Instead, even though it may be hard to use and difficult to interpret, use this information to personalize radiation therapy at every level for every patient.”.

A highly efficient way to convert optical photons into terahertz radiation has been developed by researchers in the US and Germany. Terahertz radiation falls between infrared light and microwaves in the electromagnetic spectrum and has a range of potential applications including security scanning and medical imaging.
