A new concept for targeted cancer treatment has proven somewhat successful in mice thus far. The concept relies on using radioactive ion beams to target cancerous tumors and cells directly.

A beam of radioactive carbon ions has been used to destroy cancer cells in mice, demonstrating a therapy that may cause less collateral damage than current techniques. Close. Advertisement.

Scientists used a beam of radioactive carbon-11 ions to treat a tumor (region circled in red) in a mouse. Red colors indicate where most of the ions stopped and decayed, as measured by PET scan.

PhD thesis: Leena Malinen, Advanced oxidation techniques and inorganic sorbent materials in the removal of radioactive cobalt from aqueous nuclear waste, May 2020. 2019: PhD thesis: Elmo Wiikinkoski, ...

Additionally, in all cases, interlayer K + was involved in the ion exchange. These results establish KCaSnS as a promising candidate for the removal of radioactive ions from NPP wastewater. The ...

Oh boy will the radioactive ions be pissed if this works out :o) Report comment. Reply. maxzillian says: May 25, 2023 at 10:18 am I’d give you a star if I could. Report comment. Reply.

Nuclear power is typically considered a cleaner way of generating power compared to fossil fuels. It does not release air pollutants and greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide as by-products. However, ...

A new calcium-doped adsorbent turns unwanted protons in acidic wastewater into agents for facilitating the removal of cesium ions, a major challenge for wastewater treatment in nuclear power plants.
