Abstract: PURPOSE In proton therapy, dose distributions are currently often conformed to organs at risk (OARs) using the less sharp dose fall-off at the lateral beam edge to reduce the effects of uncertainties in the proton… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract In this paper, novel beam-like mechanical metamaterials (BLMMs) with different flexural rigidities in two directions are proposed. The BLMMs are composed of the rigid parts and the flexible parts, showing totally different flexural rigidities… read more here.
