    Since its invention, cyclotrons have a history for applications in medicine. This can be either indirectly via the production of medical isotopes in nuclear medicine as well as directly for external beam therapy for the treatment of cancer. At TRIUMF, we have been involved in both over the year, by treating cancer with beams of pions and then with protons, as well as a long history of medical...

    Physics in Medicine and Biology / Physique en médecine et en biologie (DPMB-DPMB)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

    Optical microscopy has long been limited by the diffraction limit of light, but in recent decades many advancements have been made to push beyond this limit to achieve super-resolution microscopy. Breakthroughs in optics, mathematics, chemistry, and physics have led to the development of different families of super-resolution techniques, each taking a different approach to dealing with the...
