Ionisation and Dissociation of Nitrogen Molecules using Free-Electron Laser

When matter is hit by a laser-beam, the effects on the molecules can be dramatic, particularly for short pulses of high-intensity radiation. In a quest to push the limits of intensity to achieve extreme light-matter interactions in large molecules, a team of researchers from RIKEN's Advanced Science Institute in Wako, the SPring-8 Center in Harima, and the University of Tokyo, has demonstrated the ionisation and consequently the dissociation of nitrogen molecules using a free-electron laser.

Nanometer-Sized 'Cargo Ships' Targetting and Destroying Tumors

Scientists have developed nanometer-sized 'cargo ships' that can sail throughout the body via the bloodstream without immediate detection from the body's immune radar system and ferry their cargo of anti-cancer drugs and markers into tumors that might otherwise go untreated or undetected.
