Direct Detection of Hydrogen Reveals a New Macroscopic Crustal Water Reservoir on Early Mars
Abstract The next great leap in Martian exploration is the return of samples to Earth. Maximizing their scientific value requires non‐destructive analytical techniques for early three‐dimensional characterization. Neutron computed tomography (CT), highly sensitive to hydrogen, complements conventional X‐ray CT and enables the detection of hydrous ...

100 Years of Element Zero: Andreas von Antropoff's Neutronium and the Naming of the Neutron
Congratulations to the 100th Anniversary of the publication of Andreas von Antropoff's element 0, “–“! This contribution provides a historical account of the concept of element zero and the naming of the neutron. The concept of element zero is 100 years old, having a first documented appearance in a 1926 publication by Andreas von Antropoff, while the ...

Monte carlo assessment of advanced shielding materials for space‐efficient radiotherapy vault design
Abstract Background Conventional radiotherapy vault shielding typically employs 2 to 3 meters of ordinary concrete, consistent with NCRP Report 151 reference data. While NCRP 151 specifies dose‐based design goals rather than mandating particular materials, the practical default of concrete results in vault footprints of 150 to 200 m2 per linac, which ...

Abstract Aim Current radiotherapy (RT) guidelines for Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIEDs) are largely based on clinical management strategies and retrospective reports. This systematic review adopts a medical physics perspective to provide a critical, quantitative analysis of the technical evidence required for developing robust safety ...

Mixing‐Driven Defects and Composition Evolution in Multi‐Material Metal Additive Manufacturing
Operando synchrotron X‐ray imaging coupled with high‐fidelity multiphysics modeling uncovers how inter‐material mixing reshapes keyhole dynamics and drives distinct pore‐formation pathways in multi‐material laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). Composition‐dependent instabilities trigger defects, whereas rescanning suppresses porosity and homogenizes Cu ...
