MIT, ProNova Awarded $820,000 for Ironless Cyclotron

摘要

The DOE's Office of Basic Science and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have awarded an $820,000 three-year grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and ProNova Solutions, LLC, to develop a design for an ironless superconducting cyclotron capable of providing particle beams for cancer therapy. The iron-free design would weigh six times less than the smallest superconducting device currently on the market.
