Why is runaway debris a threat to space technology? 🤔 Humanity's exploitation and exploration of space has left 13,000 tonnes of junk orbiting Earth. This junk continues to build up and collide, adding to millions of smaller fragments that risk the destruction of satellites providing the connectivity, navigation, and climate data humanity now depends on. Find out more about the technology and policies aimed at mitigating the problem, including a feature of STFC and RAL Space's Chilbolton Observatory, here ▶ https://lnkd.in/gBJPPFQB #space #SpaceDebris #ScienceSolutions

Did you know that physics is being used to tackle cancer? 👩🏾🏫👨🏻⚕️ We're delighted to see the work of the STELLA project being celebrated in this recent article by BBC Futures 👉 https://lnkd.in/gY48kvrj This incredible project is working to bring reliable cancer treatment to more people in areas that need it most, through the development of next-generation compact accelerators with predictive maintenance software. Learn more about Project Stella below 🔽 Manjit Dosanjh | Lancaster University | University of Cambridge | University of Oxford #cancer #physics #HealthEquity #UKatCERN
🚀 Revolutionizing Cancer Treatment with Physics! We are thrilled to see BBC Future highlight the groundbreaking advancements in radiotherapy, featuring FLASH therapy and the transformative role of Project STELLA! 🏥✨ 🔬 What’s the breakthrough? FLASH radiotherapy delivers ultra-high dose radiation in less than a second, reducing damage to healthy tissue while effectively targeting tumours. CERN’s expertise in particle acceleration enables new solutions, from protons to very high-energy electrons, making treatment faster, safer, and more accessible. STELLA is tackling the radiotherapy gap, developing next-generation compact accelerators with predictive maintenance software, and ensuring reliable cancer treatment in low-resource settings. 🌍 Bridging the Cancer Care Divide With only 195 radiotherapy machines across sub-Saharan Africa and only 400 machines across the African continent to cover nearly 1.4 billion people—compared to over 4,000 in North America for less than 400 million people—the need for accessible solutions has never been greater. STELLA aims to change that by making cutting-edge radiotherapy available where it’s needed most. 🚀 From CERN’s labs to cancer centres worldwide, physics is shaping the future of oncology. Read the full BBC article here: https://lnkd.in/gY48kvrj. Let’s work together to close the cancer treatment gap and bring these innovations to patients everywhere! 💙 University of Cambridge Lancaster University University of Oxford, Department of Physics #CancerCare #MedicalPhysics #Radiotherapy #FLASHtherapy #STELLA #OncologyInnovation #CERN #HealthEquity
