The supply of battery-grade nickel to produce positive electrodes of sodium-ion batteries may soon become insufficient. For this reason, it is crucial to find new electrode materials that minimize its use or even fully remove this element from synthesis. We have prepared a NaMgFeNiMnO (0 ≤ ≤ 0.

In Colombia, medical physics started formally about 3 decades ago. Two master's programs in medical physics initiated activities at two different universities. In particular, the master's program at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana has been underway since 2012, and taking into account its projections, a team was established in 2015 in collaboration with the Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas to conduct basic research on cancer treatment using neutron capture therapy (NCT).
