Localized nuclear reaction breaks boron drug capsules loaded with immune adjuvants for cancer immunotherapy. [PDF]
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a type of radiotherapy that induces cell damage through a localized nuclear reaction. Here the authors describe the design of a carborane-based covalent organic framework as a boron capsule loaded with immune ...

Extremely rapid isotropic irradiation of nanoparticles with ions generated in situ by a nuclear reaction. [PDF]
Energetic ions represent an important tool for the creation of controlled structural defects in solid nanomaterials. However, the current preparative irradiation techniques in accelerators show significant limitations in scaling-up, because only very ...

Uncovering Special Nuclear Materials by Low-energy Nuclear Reaction Imaging. [PDF]
Weapons-grade uranium and plutonium could be used as nuclear explosives with extreme destructive potential. The problem of their detection, especially in standard cargo containers during transit, has been described as “searching for a needle in a ...

Nuclear Structure and Simple Nuclear Reactions [PDF]
Recently it has become increasingly evident that some assumptions in the nuclear model used for the Monte Carlo calculations yield cross section values which are not in accord with experiment. In particular, calculations of ($p, \mathrm{pn}$)-reaction cross sections in the Bev energy range give values which are low by factors of two to nine when ...

SkyNet: A modular nuclear reaction network library [PDF]
Almost all of the elements heavier than hydrogen that are present in our solar system were produced by nuclear burning processes either in the early universe or at some point in the life cycle of stars.

Unitary correlation in nuclear reaction theory [PDF]
We prove that the amplitudes for the (d,p), (d,pn) and (e,e'p) reactions determining the asymptotic behavior of the exact scattering wave functions in the corresponding channels are invariant under unitary correlation operators while the spectroscopic ...

Nuclear Reaction Uncertainties, Massive Gravitino Decays and the Cosmological Lithium Problem [PDF]
We consider the effects of uncertainties in nuclear reaction rates on the cosmological constraints on the decays of unstable particles during or after Big-Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN).

Total nuclear reaction cross-section database for radiation protection in space and heavy-ion therapy applications [PDF]
Realistic nuclear reaction cross-section models are an essential ingredient of reliable heavy-ion transport codes. Such codes are used for risk evaluation of manned space exploration missions as well as for ion-beam therapy dose calculations and ...
