Megavolt bremsstrahlung measurements from linear induction accelerators demonstrate possible use as a FLASH radiotherapy source to reduce acute toxicity.

Recent studies indicate better efficacy and healthy tissue sparing with high dose-rate FLASH radiotherapy (FLASH-RT) cancer treatment. This technique delivers a prompt high radiation dose rather than fractional doses over time. While some suggest thresholds of > 40 Gy s with a maximal effect at > 100 Gy s, accumulated evidence shows that instantaneous dose-rate and irradiation time are critical.

Unabated, worldwide trends in CO production project growth to > 43-BMT per year over the next two decades. Efficient power electronics are crucial to fully realizing the CO mitigating benefits of a worldwide smart grid (~ 18% reduction for the United States alone). Even state-of-the-art SiC high voltage junction devices are inefficient because of slow transition times (~ 0.
