CERN has been in the spotlight a lot lately, especially following the latest discoveries that I’ve already addressed.
CERN addresses cancer treatments in new breakthrough
It looks like the particle accelerator is able to cure different types of cancer, according to their latest reports.
The official statement that has been shared on their own social media states that “The facility will deliver ultra-high doses of radiation from very-high-energy electrons (VHEE) in times of the order of milliseconds. The goal is to exploit the so-called FLASH effect, where very intense radiation doses administered very quickly appear to damage tumors while strongly minimizing harmful side-effects.”
According to their own data, this is a pioneering installation that “will be based on the high-gradient accelerator technology developed for the proposed Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) electron–positron collider.”
