(Sweden), with its data management and software centre in Copenhagen (Denmark).</p> <p>When completed, ESS will be the world’s most powerful accelerator-based source of neutrons. Scientists will use these particles to study the properties and behaviour of materials - right down to the level of atoms.</p> <p>Funded by 13 European countries*, this big-science facility is built with contribution from more than 40 research institutes in Europe, and with knowledge and know-how from many research centres worldwide. ESS attracts people from diverse fields and cultures who share the excitement of building a state-of-the-art facility to enable great science and innovation for a sustainable world.</p> <p>The construction of the facility is ongoing.

Find out more in this video.</p> </div> </footer></div> </div> <p>Every year, thousands of researchers from academia and industry will use the ESS facility to learn more about materials, unlocking discoveries and driving innovative solutions to address some of humanity’s biggest challenges in energy, health and the environment.</p> <p>With the help of neutrons, scientists will be able to understand materials and matter at a deeper level than ever before, investigating deep inside objects, obeserving where the atoms are and how they behave. This can help researchers design new materials for better batteries, greener plastics or stronger engineering structures. Or, it could help life science researchers develop new vaccines or more effective medicines.</p> <p>Up to 3,000 researchers from around the world will come to ESS each year to carry out experiments on samples of the materials they are studying. Many will also visit MAX IV Laboratory, the neighbouring synchrotron light source, where they can get complementary data about their samples using X-rays.</p> <p> </p> <h4>At ESS, scientists will

In cancer treatment, it is required to provide sufficient information on the prognosis of cancer treatment, treatment effects and side effects, and to determine a treatment plan based on the patient's wishes regarding survival period and quality of life (QOL). Due to the development of accelerator-based neutron source for BNCT, In Japan, BNCT for unresectable locally advanced or locally recurrent head and neck cancer has been covered by insurance since June 2020 at the Southern Tohoku BNCT Research Center (Fukushima Prefecture) and the Kansai BNCT Joint Medical Center (Osaka Prefecture), the first two facilities in the world. Now the four hospitals have installed BNCT systems and the clinical trials or studies trials have been performed for other type of cancers. In the world, more than 30 accelerator based BNCT projects have been initiated in 15 countries, and clinical studies are ongoing in China, and Korea. In this webinar, I will report on the progress of accelerator based clinical BNCT systems for sustainable quality of life in the world.</p><p class="text-align-justify"><strong>Speaker</strong>: Dr. Kazuyo Igawa, Neutron Therapy Research Center, Okayama University studied dentistry in Tokyo and then clinical maxillofacial surgery and bone regeneration research at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. On returning to Japan, she was involved in clinical research of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) for head and neck cancer, and contributed to the establishment of the world's first BNCT hospital in 2014 as Medical Director of BNCT Research Center at Southern Tohoku General Hospital.</p><p>This event is open to the public, so don't miss out! </p><p>Secure your spot by<strong> </strong><a href="https://apsphysics.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_6E1G0tsvQ5SL5Rl3gea5KA" title="https://apsphysics.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_6E1G0tsvQ5SL5Rl3gea5KA"><strong><u>REGISTERING here </u></strong></a> and receive the Zoom link </p><p>The colloquia series, "Physics for Development," is organized by the Forum on International Physics (FIP) at the American Physical Society (APS). </p><p><em> </em><strong>►► </strong>Visit the PHYSICS MATTERS <a href="https://engage.aps.org/fip/resources/activities/physics-matters-video" title="https://engage.aps.org/fip/resources/activities/physics-matters-video"><strong><u>Past colloquia materials </u></strong></a>at your convenience and read more at " <a href="https://www.primapagina.sif.it/article/1807/when-physics-matters" title="https://www.primapagina.sif.it/article/1807/when-physics-matters"><strong><u>When Physics Matters ! </u></strong></a><strong>“</strong></p></td><td><h4>Other materials</h4><ul><li><a href="https://www.europeanschoolnetacademy.eu/courses/course-v1:AT+AcceleratingTeaching+2023/about">Accelerate Your Teaching!</a> A new online course for teachers about using the stories of accelerator driven science to bring your lessons to life!</li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFSUXC0l5E6sFpv1Sqf3aYqcnz7rBbO6W" target="_blank">Videos</a>: Why do we build large particle accelerators and what are they for?
