Article Synopsis
  • Proton boron capture therapy (PBCT) aims to improve proton therapy's effectiveness by utilizing proton-boron fusion reactions that theoretically increase dose delivery in cancer cells.
  • The study investigated the effectiveness of sodium borocaptate (BSH) in enhancing proton radiation's effects on glioma cells, showing only minimal improvement in cell viability and colony formation after treatment.
  • Findings suggest that the anticipated benefits of PBCT may not materialize due to the complicated interactions within irradiated tissues, indicating a need for further research into secondary effects rather than just direct dose enhancements.

Single crystals of ice Ih, extracted from the subglacial Lake Vostok accretion ice layer (3621 m depth) were investigated by means of diffuse x-ray scattering and inelastic x-ray scattering. The diffuse scattering was identified as mainly inelastic and rationalized in the frame of ab initio calculations for the ordered ice XI approximant. Together with Monte-Carlo modelling, our data allowed reconsidering previously available neutron diffuse scattering data of heavy ice as the sum of thermal diffuse scattering and static disorder contribution.
