Proton therapy is an advanced cancer treatment technique that delivers highly targeted dose to the tumour while sparing surrounding normal tissue, enabled by the finite range of the proton beam. This precision targeting, however, is compromised by tumour motion or anatomical changes throughout a course of treatment. The absence of fast imaging tools to localize moving targets during dose delivery is a fundamental barrier to exploiting the full potential of proton therapy.

The ExoSCOPE platform utilizes labelling of extracellular vesicles (EVs) to measure cellular drug effects. (Courtesy: Nat. Nanotechnol. 10.1038/s41565-021-00872-w). Catching cancer drugs in the act may seem complicated – but could soon become a lot simpler. One of the three common methods of treating cancer is chemotherapy; this process uses active chemicals to destroy abnormal or tumour cells.

Vividly coloured paintings have been created by researchers in Russia by using a laser to heat the surface of a metal until it begins to evaporate. Developed by Vadim Veiko , Yaroslava Andreeva and colleagues at ITMO University in Saint Petersburg, the technique makes colours by creating oxide layers on the metal surface. The palette of nine basic colours can be created, erased and changed using the laser and the team used the technique to make a 7×5 cm reproduction of Vincent van Gogh’s The Sta

A device claimed to detect the virus that causes COVID-19 in ambient air within 2–3 min has been successfully tested at two universities in the US. It was developed by the company Smiths Detection , which says that the test has a sensitivity equivalent to PCR testing. The test is now commercially available in the US and is being prepared for a global rollout.
