Higher doses of proton therapy over a shorter amount of time effectively treats prostate cancer—and is safe for patients, a new study shows.

A paper cutting method called kirigami can spin terahertz rays in real time to peer into biological tissue, report researchers.

"We need to look at the biological factors that are making females more vulnerable to life-saving radiation treatment."

Proton therapy doesn't lead to as many side effects as traditional X-ray radiation therapy for cancer, and has similar cure rates, research finds.

"Our eventual hope is to be able to predict a patient's response before radiation therapy even begins..."

You might've heard that cockroaches would outlive humans in a nuclear apocalypse, but is that a myth?

Huge facilities, typically the size of several football stadiums, usually generate synchrotron radiation. The new device is smaller than a match.
