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 ...

Extremely rapid isotropic irradiation of nanoparticles with ions generated in situ by a nuclear reaction [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2018 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]
Sci Rep, 2016 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]
Physical Review, 1960 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 ...

Total nuclear reaction cross-section database for radiation protection in space and heavy-ion therapy applications [PDF]
New Journal of Physics, 2021 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 ...

Influence of Nuclear Reaction Rate Uncertainties on Neutron Star Properties Extracted from X-Ray Burst Model–Observation Comparisons [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2018 Type-I X-ray bursts can be used to determine properties of accreting neutron stars via comparisons between model calculations and astronomical observations, exploiting the sensitivity of models to astrophysical conditions.
