18.5.2020 Utilization of real-time motion tracking methods in radiotherapy for prostate cancer (Vanhanen)

Newly found high fractionation sensitivity of prostate cancer has led to increasing use of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in the treatment of prostate cancer.

15.5.2020 Measuring the charge radii of radioactive palladium nuclei for the first time (Geldhof)

Some of the fundamental properties of atomic nuclei are their size, shape and mass.

7.5.2020 Theoretical and numerical studies of the dynamics of open quantum systems (Agasti)

The time-adaptive density matrix renormalization group (t-DMRG) is considered as one of the most powerful methods to study strongly-correlated many-body quantum system.
