"Cryo-electron tomography allows our cells to be seen in 3D, making it possible to identify new proteins &
make new discoveries - but time consuming.
Affinity-VAE (using AI technology) - could improve the process & increase efficiency"

Quantum tunnelling may be common at the tiniest scales, but no one had ever observed the phenomenon in fluorine – the element was simply thought to be too heavy. Now, this accepted wisdom has been upended in new experiments that observe fluorine tunnelling

"patient with adenoid cystic carcinoma in her salivary gland...treating such tumours typically causes a lot of side effects. After 33 treatments with step-and-shoot proton arc therapy - minimal side effects & no radiation toxicity to other areas of her body (including the brain)"
Proton arc therapy eliminates hard-to-treat cancer with minimal side effects
"Since finishing her treatment in August 2024, she continues to be cancer-free."
