Gold nanoparticles have already shown promise in precisely highlighting brain tumors, “blowing up” individual diseased cells, and developing a lung cancer breath test. Now researchers have created ...

Alpha particles are a powerful cancer-killing tool, directly damaging tumour cell DNA regardless of the level of oxygenation or cell cycle stage. The downside of alpha particles is their extremely ...

LONDON, UK, 4 March 2025 - In a comprehensive Genomic Press Viewpoint (review) article, researchers are shining a spotlight on a revolutionary approach to tackling neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), a ...

Alpha DaRT technology uses diffusing alpha emitters to treat solid tumours. (Courtesy: Alpha Tau Medical) Diffusing alpha-emitters radiation therapy (DaRT) uses interstitial radioactive seeds that ...

If you want to measure radioactivity, nothing really beats a Geiger counter: compact, rugged, and reasonably easy to use, they’re by far the most commonly used tool to detect ionizing radiation.

Alpha DaRT, a unique localized alpha radiation therapy, has shown potential best-in-class efficacy and safety across multiple solid tumors. Currently enrolling patients in cSCC, HNSCC, pancreatic, and ...

Scientists have found evidence of alpha particles at the surface of neutron-rich heavy nuclei, providing new insights into the structure of neutron stars, as well as the process of alpha decay.

In a comprehensive Genomic Press Viewpoint (review) article, researchers are shining a spotlight on a revolutionary approach to tackling neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), a rare but increasingly prevalent ...
