"Flexible X-ray Detectors: Transforming Cancer Treatment"
Researchers at the University of Surrey have developed new flexible X-ray detectors made of organic semiconductors that could revolutionize cancer treatment and improve airport scanners. These detectors are cheaper, more accurate, and can be shaped around the objects being scanned. The new material behaves more like human tissue under X-rays, allowing for safer techniques in administering radiotherapy, mammography, and radiography. The technology shows promise for various applications, including medical imaging and security scanners.
