Laser focus Simulations explore how a tumor-killing laser’s high-energy fields can rip matter apart.

Bussmann, M.

Laser physicists are tantalizingly close to building a device that delivers highly focused beams of tumor-killing ionized particles and packing it in a compact unit that would fit in a doctor’s office. OncoRay, a research center in Dresden, Germany, is designing what would be the first prototype compact particle therapy units.
