Simplifying Radiation Dose Calculations with GHOST

December 5, 2025

In the world of medical research, figuring out how radiation spreads in the body is super important. Scientists use something called Monte Carlo simulations to do this. These simulations help them see exactly where radiation goes and how much dose is given. One of the most reliable tools for this is

Why Bacteria and Gels Could Be the Future of Radiation Measurement

December 5, 2025

In the realm of radiation therapy, finding materials that mimic human tissue is a big deal. This is where Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and hydrogels come into play. Researchers have been looking into how these two can work together to measure radiation more accurately. The focus is on two specifi

How Molecule Shape Affects Their Behavior

July 7, 2025

Scientists have been curious about how the shape of molecules influences their behavior. Specifically, they want to understand how changes in the length-to-width ratio of molecules can lead to the formation of different phases, known as mesophases. This is important because these phases have unique

Building a Better Phantom: A Tetrahedral Mesh for Chinese Women

January 28, 2025

Creating detailed surface phantoms of Chinese women of childbearing age is great, but they can't be used directly in Monte Carlo simulations. Instead, these surface phantoms have to be turned into voxel phantoms, which might lose some of their initial advantages. So, the goal of this study is to bui

Why Automatic Linear Modelling Beats Traditional Regression

January 7, 2025

Imagine you're trying to predict something, like how well a student will do in a test based on their attendance, homework grades, and so on. Traditional multiple linear regression is like guessing based on a complex formula. But automatic linear modelling? It's like having a smart friend who not onl

Exploring How Temperature and Size Affect Ferroelectric Memory Devices: Unlocking Multi-Bit Computing

January 3, 2025

What if the size and temperature of a tiny electronic component could change how well it stores multiple values? That's what researchers found out when they looked into ferroelectric field effect transistors, or FeFETs. These mini devices can store more than one value, making them super handy for ta

Securing Power in Storms: A Mix of Gas and Batteries

December 27, 2024

Imagine planning an energy network that must withstand storms. Specifically, let's think about one powered by natural gas. How can we make sure it stays up and running during bad weather like hurricanes? This plan involves two main steps. First, figure out where to place stronger power lines, small

Roofing Materials and Air Pollution: What We Need to Know

November 26, 2024

Ever thought about how roofs can affect the air we breathe? Scientists have been exploring how chemicals from asphalt roofs contribute to tiny particles in the air, called secondary organic aerosols (SOAs). These particles can be harmful to our health. A recent study aimed to figure out just how muc

Predicting Bubbles: A Two-Step Guide Under Fluctuating Markets

November 22, 2024

Economists have been grappling with the challenge of predicting bubbles in financial markets. One recent study took a fresh approach by dividing the market into four regimes and assuming that volatility can change over time. This four-regime bubble model focuses on identifying the start, peak, colla
