PurposeMinibeam and microbeam radiation therapy promise improved treatment outcomes through reduced normal tissue toxicity at better tumor control rates. The lack of suitable compact radiation sources limits the clinical application of minibeams to superficial tumors and renders it impossible for microbeams. [...]

The formation and evolution of nanoparticles on the surface of oxide catalysts are essential for determining their catalytic performance. Establishing a direct relationship between structure and function requires real-time in situ characterization under operational conditions. [...]

This paper provides a unique and to the best of our knowledge first-of-a-kind attempt to develop chemical processes that may contribute to the volume reduction of SMR TRISO-based fuels and aims at the eventual ability to reprocess the spent fuel. To this end, the etching behavior of two materials, silicon carbide, SiC and pyrolytic carbon, PyC, that are generally used for the different barrier layers of a TRISO particle has been investigated.
