A Study of the Production of Neutrons for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy using a Proton Accelerator [PDF]

, 2014
Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a binary cancer therapy particularly well-suited to treating aggressive tumours that exhibit a high degree of infiltration of the surrounding healthy tissue. Such tumours, for example of the brain and lung, provide

Design of a scintillator-based prompt gamma camera for boron-neutron capture therapy: Comparison of SrI2 and GAGG using Monte-Carlo simulation

Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2021
Boron–neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a cancer treatment method that exploits the high neutron reactivity of boron. Monitoring the prompt gamma rays (PGs) produced during neutron irradiation is essential for ensuring the accuracy and safety of BNCT. We

Modeling Changes in Measured Conductance of Thin Boron Carbide Semiconducting Films Under Irradiation [PDF]

, 2016
Semiconducting, p-type, amorphous partially dehydrogenated boron carbide films (a-B10C2+x:Hy) were deposited utilizing plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) onto n-type silicon thus creating a heterojunction diode.

Structural Profiling of Lipid Nanoparticles at Sub‐10 nm Resolution via AF4 Coupled Online to SAXS and SANS

Small Methods, EarlyView.
Dilution‐controlled AF4 coupled with SAXS and, for the first time, SANS enables high‐resolution characterization of non‐spherical lipid nanoparticles. Enhanced scattering contrast and D2O‐based measurements resolve particle features down to ∼5 nm and reveal shape distributions.

A Direct Method to Prepare Zwitterionic Organotrifluoroborates: Ammonium and Sulfonium Derivatives

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, Volume 29, Issue 18, 14 May 2026.
Organotrifluoroborates find applications in synthesis, diagnostics, and theranostics. This study outlines a one‐step reaction for producing ammonium and sulfonium trifluoroborate zwitterion derivatives. This method achieves satisfactory yields without the need for expensive reagents.

Boron Neutron Capture Therapy at a Crossroads: Translational Gap and Emerging Delivery Agents

Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 17, 5 May 2026.
This review surveys recent advances in boron delivery agents for BNCT, emphasizing the shift from classical small molecules to multifunctional nanocarriers and theranostic systems. By integrating targeting, imaging, and therapy, next‐generation boron compounds aim to bridge the gap between (bio)chemical innovation and clinical translation.

Laser Engineering of HfN‐Based Nanoparticles for Safe NIR‐I Photothermal and X‐ray Enhancing Cancer Therapies

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 36, 4 May 2026.
In this study, we produced HfN‐based nanoparticles via femtosecond laser ablation in acetone. The nanoparticles exhibit a red‐shifted plasmonic resonance in the NIR‐I window, colloidal stability after coating with polyethyleneglycol, and excellent biocompatibility. The photothermal and X‐ray sensitization therapeutic effects were demonstrated for tumor

Integrating measurement and simulation for evaluation of patient‐specific whole‐body dosimetry in clinical BNCT

Medical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Background Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a treatment modality that utilises high intensity neutron beam in combination with a boron drug to target cancer cells at the cellular level. Despite decades of research in this field, there are very few reports on out‐of‐field patient dose of BNCT.
