Radiotherapy is currently used in around 50% of cancer treatments and relies on the
deposition of energy directly into tumour tissue. Although it is generally effective, some of the …

DNA damage caused by irradiation has been studied for many decades. Such studies allow
us to better assess the dangers posed by radiation, and to increase the efficiency of the …

The multiscale approach to the assessment of biodamage resulting upon irradiation of
biological media with ions is reviewed, explained and compared to other approaches. The …

MesoBioNano (MBN) Explorer is a multi-purpose software package for advanced multiscale
simulations of complex molecular structure and dynamics. It has many unique features and a …

Ion-beam therapy provides advances in cancer treatment, offering the possibility of excellent
dose localization and thus maximising cell-killing within the tumour. The full potential of such …

Particle therapy is increasingly attractive for the treatment of tumors and the number of
facilities offering it is rising worldwide. Due to the well-known enhanced effectiveness of …

Experiment and theory are combined to study the interaction of low energy electrons with
microhydrated uracil and its halogenated analogues 5-fluorouracil and 5-bromouracil. We …

This roadmap reviews the new, highly interdisciplinary research field studying the behavior
of condensed matter systems exposed to radiation. The Review highlights several recent …

A new molecular dynamics (MD) approach for computer simulations of irradiation driven
chemical transformations of complex molecular systems is suggested. The approach is …

The number and energy of secondary electrons generated around the trajectories of swift
protons interacting with biological materials are highly relevant in proton therapy, due to the …
