A fluorocarbon plastic scintillator for neutron detection: Proof of concept

, 2014
International audienceThe fast neutron nuclear reactions, such as 19F(n, α)16N and 19F(n, p)19O, can be used to detect highly energetic neutrons due to their energy thresholds above which these activation reactions can occur.

Reversible Dual‐Mode X‐Ray Memory Imaging of Photochromic Zero‐Dimensional Halide Perovskite Glass

Information &Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A photochromic halide perovskite glass with embedded Cs4PbBr6 nanocrystals enables reversible X‐ray–induced coloration and luminescence modulation, realizing dual‐mode X‐ray memory imaging with visual and photoluminescent readout. ABSTRACT Integrating photochromic and photoluminescence (PL) properties of halide perovskite glasses enables reversible ...

Hypervision Proton Surgery: The Future Direction of Proton Therapy

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proton beams provide unique physical advantages characterized by a low entrance dose, negligible exit dose, and a sharp Bragg peak, which enable superior sparing of normal tissues and support safe dose escalation for improved tumor control. However, conventional photon‐based fractionation remains widely used in proton therapy, where prolonged ...

Coccolithophore particulate inorganic and organic carbon ratios: An evaluation of acid decalcification methods

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Accurate direct measurements of coccolithophore particulate inorganic and organic carbon ratios (PIC/POC) are crucial for understanding the physiology and role these microbes play in global ocean carbon flux. Direct measurements of POC are commonly obtained by acid fuming or applying acid directly to filters to dissolve PIC (CaCO3) prior to CN

Quantification of 10B and 11B in Biological Samples in Translational Science and Clinical Applications for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT)

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a targeted radiotherapy that exploits the selective accumulation of the 10B isotope within tumors, followed by irradiation with low‐energy neutrons to induce high linear energy transfer particles with short path lengths, resulting in localized tumor cell destruction while sparing surrounding healthy ...

Robust β‐myrcene block copolymer elastomeric vitrimers

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Myrcene‐based vitrimeric elastomers were compared: statistical (poly(styrene‐stat‐myrcene‐stat‐AAEMA)] versus ‘hard–soft’ diblock (poly(styrene)‐block‐poly(myrcene‐co‐AAEMA)). The diblock's ability to anchor the glassy poly(styrene) blocks in a self‐assembled microstructure was effective – leading to four times higher tensile stress and ten times ...
