Novel boron-containing drugs have recently been suggested as a new class of pharmaceuticals. However, the majority of current boron-detection techniques require expensive facilities and/or tedious pretreatment methods.

The Early Formation, Evolution and Age of the Neutron-Capture Elements in the Early Galaxy [PDF]
Abundance observations indicate the presence of rapid-neutron capture (i.e., r-process) elements in old Galactic halo and globular cluster stars. These observations demonstrate that the earliest generations of stars in the Galaxy, responsible for neutron-

Investigation of photon doses reaching healthy tissues in the use of different neutron energies in boron neutron capture therapy [PDF]
Boron neutron capture therapy is a unique treatment method that aims to kill the tumor cells with the help of heavy particles. Particles resulting from the interaction of the tumor region containing 10B atoms with thermal or epithermal neutrons ...

Reaction rates for Neutron Capture Reactions to C-, N- and O-isotopes to the neutron rich side of stability [PDF]
The reaction rates of neutron capture reactions on light nuclei are important for reliably simulating nucleosynthesis in a variety of stellar scenarios. Neutron capture reaction rates on neutron-rich C-, N-, and O-isotopes are calculated in the framework

Neutron Capture and Nuclear Constitution [PDF]
AMONG the properties of atomic nuclei disclosed by the fundamental researches of Lord Rutherford and his followers on artificial nuclear transmutations, one of the most striking is the extraordinary tendency of such nuclei to react with each other as soon as direct contact is established.

Neutron Capture Therapy for Melanoma [PDF]
The dose-limiting factor in cancer radiation therapy is the tolerance level of normal tissues within the radiation field. In boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), thermal neutrons interact with boron via the 10B(n,a)/Li reaction (Taylor, 1935) to produce short-range (~ 5–9 µm), high-linear energy transfer radiations which have a large relative ...

Precision neutron flux measurement using the Alpha-Gamma device [PDF]
The Alpha-Gamma device at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) utilizes neutron capture on a totally absorbing 10B deposit to measure the absolute neutron flux of a monochromatic cold neutron beam.

A Review of Boron Neutron Capture Therapy: Its History and Current Challenges [PDF]
Mechanism of Action: External beam, whether with photons or particles, remains as the most common type of radiation therapy. The main drawback is that radiation deposits dose in healthy tissue before reaching its target.
