Airborne iodine-131 plays a pivotal role in both nuclear medicine and nuclear safety due to its radiotoxicity, volatility, and affinity for the thyroid gland. Although the total exhaled activity after medical I-131 therapy is minimal, over 95% of this activity appears in volatile organic forms, which evade standard filtration and reflect metabolic pathways of iodine turnover. [...]

Auger-electron-emitting radionuclides offer a distinctive route toward molecular-scale radiotherapy because their biological effects depend primarily on the nanoscale location of the decay event rather than on long-range tissue penetration. This review examines Auger-emitting radionuclides from a radiopharmaceutical perspective, integrating decay-associated physicochemical processes, cellular dosimetry, subcellular targeting, and translational relevance. [...]

Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures allow the engineering of magnetic and electronic properties via interfacial orbital hybridization and charge transfer. The resulting electric fields can give rise to Rashba spin-orbit coupling and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions, which may stabilize novel two-dimensional magnetic phases. [...]

Alternative production methods for molybdenum-99 (99Mo), the parent nuclide of technetium-99 m (99mTc), have gained significant attention over the past two decades, particularly in response to vulnerabilities in the current reactor-based supply chain. A major challenge in implementing accelerator-driven production routes is the lower specific activity of 99Mo obtained compared to that produced via fission of highly-enriched uranium-235 (235U). [...]

Humans navigate the world by learning from both social interactions and direct experiences. Although these twolearning strategies are essential for adaptive survival, a systematic neural comparison between them has beenlacking. [...]

Objective: To evaluate the effect of polar body biopsy (PBB) on pregnancy and pregnancy loss outcomes in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles.Methodology: This is a retrospective case-control study that analyzed 147 ICSI embryo transfer (ET) cycles. The study included 82 subfertile patients (31 patients with ICSI and PBB therapy = case group; 51 patients with ICSI without the PBB therapy = control group). [...]
