Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are increasingly adopted in wastewater treatment to degrade persistent pollutants, including emerging targets such as microplastics (MPs). These particles enter aqu...

Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is an emerging approach to radiotherapy. Neutron capture by a boronated (10B) therapeutic yields high linear energy transfer alpha particles (helium nuclei, 4He) a...

A new technique has measured boron in individual cancer cells for the first time, enabling researchers to better understand how drugs act to kill tumors in some cancers.
