Dissociative electron attachment (DEA) processes occur in many important applied contexts,
particularly gas discharges, plasmas, biological systems, and astrophysical environments. In …

Given the distinct characteristics of low-energy electrons (LEEs), particularly at energies less
than 30 eV, they can be applied to a wide range of therapeutic modalities to improve cancer …

The literature on the anti-neoplastic effects of Pt drugs provides substantial evidence that
free radical may be involved in the formation of Pt-DNA adducts and other cytotoxic effects …

Introduction: This study investigates the biological activities of Lavandula pinnata essential
oil (LPEO), an endemic lavender species from the Canary Islands, traditionally used in …

Background: Cisplatin, a platinum complex discovered by Rosenberg in 1969, has long
been known as the first metal-based anticancer agent. Since then, various similar …

Quantum chemistry is a useful tool in modern approaches to drug and material design, but
only when the adopted model reflects a correct physical picture. Paradigmatic is the case of …

We provide an experimentalist's perspective on the present state-of-the-art in the studies of
low-energy electron interactions with common radiosensitizers, including compounds used …

Abstract 2014 is the centenary of the first announcement of the Franck-Hertz experiment [1],
now regarded as one of the pivotal experiments of modern physics. The Franck-Hertz …

The results of computational simulation of reaction courses mimicking the transformation of
carboplatin from pro-drug into its active shape, responsible for cytotoxic effect, are reported …

We report total electron-impact ionisation cross sections (EICSs) of cisplatin, its hydrolysis
products and transplatin in the energy range from threshold to 10 keV using the binary …
