More bang from your beam: reimagining X-ray conversion
The X-rays used for radiation therapy, medical imaging and many other applications are produced by slamming an electron beam into a piece of metal. The X-rays used for radiation therapy, medical imaging and many other applications are produced by slamming an electron beam into a piece of metal. Most of the energy from the beam…

From CERN to the clinic
At a seminar at CERN today, Ron Heeren describes how CERN’s Timepix read-out chip might in the future be found in surgery rooms. Medipix – a family of read-out chips for particle imaging and detection developed at CERN – has proved its credentials outside the field of high-energy physics, including in art authentication and restoration.…
