Each colored circle shows an IceCube sensor that was triggered by the event; red circles indicate sensors triggered earlier. view more Credit: IceCube Collaboration The idea was so far-fetched it seemed like science fiction: create an observatory out of a one cubic kilometer block of ice in Antarctica to track ghostly particles called neutrinos that pass through the Earth. But speaking to Benedickt Riedel, global computing manager at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, it makes perfect sense. Constructing a comparable observatory anywhere else would be astronomically expensive, Riedel explained. Antarctica ice is a great optical material and allows us to sense neutrinos as nowhere else. ....
Share A new research development from The University of Manchester and the Christie NHS Foundation Trust has shown progress for developing a potential new cancer treatment using high energy electron beams. The collaborative research team have published their findings in Nature’s journal, Scientific Reports, and demonstrated that Very High Energy Electron (VHEE) beams can have a positive effect for treatment with damage to DNA at similar levels to those conventional X-Rays and proton therapy, whilst harnessing the unique technological qualities of electron beams. Human cells are composed of DNA and this new result is a fundamental step forward for VHEE radiation as a treatment for a number of cancers. This new treatment has the potential to extend conventional treatment with electron beams used in hospital which only penetrate a few centimetres into the body and struggle to reliably reach deep seated tumours. ....
