Physicist Gregor Hlawacek, head of the EU project FIT4NANO, is responsible for a state-of-the-art facility at the HZDR where he can produce and analyze nanostructures using a particularly finely ...

A new concept for targeted cancer treatment has proven somewhat successful in mice thus far. The concept relies on using radioactive ion beams to target cancerous tumors and cells directly. There are, ...

Focused ion beam (FIB) nanofabrication has emerged as a pivotal technique in the manipulation and customisation of materials at the nanoscale. This approach utilises a finely focused beam of ions to ...

A group of researchers at Chalmers University of Technology has discovered a completely new way of using lasers to accelerate ion beams. In time, the new technique could possibly give more people ...

Proton beam writing (PBW) and ion beam applications represent a cutting‐edge suite of techniques for material patterning and modification at the micro‐ and nanoscale. PBW utilises focussed MeV proton ...

The research project “BARB – Biomedical Applications of Radioactive Ion Beams” funded by a prestigious ERC Advanced Grant to Professor Marco Durante, head of the Biophysics Department at the GSI ...

The Large Helical Device (LHD) and the heavy ion beam probe (HIBP) system. The inset on the left shows an enlarged view of the section from the negative ion source to the injection side of the tandem ...

A more accurate way to destroy tumours using beams of radioactive particles could help target hard-to-treat cancers that are close to sensitive organs, such as the spinal cord or optic nerve. Most ...

Traditional methods, such as mechanical polishing and chemical etching, can introduce unwanted artifacts, surface damage, or thermal effects that compromise imaging accuracy and detail. That’s where ...

Introduction of the IBD300 System Represents A Significant Opportunity to Grow Revenue In The Front-End Semiconductor Market By Introducing A New Deposition Technology For Advanced Node Applications ...
