Localized nuclear reaction breaks boron drug capsules loaded with immune adjuvants for cancer immunotherapy [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2023 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 ...

MEASUREMENT OF 182,184,186W (N, N’ γ) CROSS SECTIONS AND WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM IT [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2021 Today’s development of nuclear installations rely on numerical simulation for which the main input are evaluated nuclear data. Inelastic neutron scattering (n, xn) is a reaction of importance because it modifies the neutron population, the neutron energy

Examining the fluorine overabundance problem by conducting Jinping deep underground experiment
He jishu, 2023 BackgroundNuclear reactions have been crucial in the evolution of the universe since the big bang. The cross section of nuclear reaction that occurs during the early evolution of the star is extremely low, so it cannot be accurately measured in a ground ...

Nuclear data for space exploration
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023 Understanding the harmful effects of galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) on space exploration requires a substantial amount of nuclear data. Specifically, the interaction of energetic GCR charged particles with spacecraft materials generates secondary radiations

Absolute measurement of the isotopes 16O and 18O in bombarded H218O sample using deuteron-induced gamma-ray emission technique [PDF]
مجله علوم و فنون هستهای, 2022 In this research work, we used the Deuteron Induced Gamma-ray Emission (DIGE) method based on 18O(d,pγ)19O (Eγ=1376 keV), and 16O(d,pγ)17O (Eγ= 871 keV) nuclear reactions to determine absolute amounts of the stable isotopes 16O and 18O in the irradiated
