Researcher Bruno Oliveira, from Centro de Ciências e Tecnologias Nucleares at Instituto Superior Técnico, authored an opinion article published in the newspaper SOL, focusing on the emerging role of targeted radiotherapy in cancer treatment. In his text, the researcher highlights the potential of radionuclide therapies, a rapidly developing field within nuclear medicine that enables radiation

Researcher Marta Almeida, from Centro de Ciências e Tecnologias Nucleares at Instituto Superior Técnico, signs an opinion piece addressing one of today’s most pressing environmental and public health challenges — air pollution. In the article, the researcher highlights that, although invisible, air pollution remains the leading environmental risk to human health, disproportionately affecting the most

Sofia Gama, a professor at Instituto Superior Técnico and a researcher at Centro de Ciências e Tecnologias Nucleares (C²TN), was recently featured in a report about the ´SuperOpTyMe` project — an innovative study exploring the use of radioactivity to tackle one of the greatest global health challenges: infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria. Developed at C²TN,

Sandra Cabo Verde, researcher at C2TN, uses radiation technologies to extract bioactive compounds from food and waste from the agri-food industry. Know more in 90 seconds of science!   https://www.90segundosdeciencia.pt/episodes/ep-1814-sandra-cabo-verde/    

The expertise of the C2TN includes activities about Radiological Safety and Protection, covering the detection, identification and quantification of radionuclides, exposure of individuals to radiation through measurement, evaluation and calculation of doses, the study of shielding characteristics of materials, and computational modelling from radiation fields and sources, critical components not only in situations of war,

The majority of the population continues associating the terms “radiation” and “nuclear” with negative aspects and imminent danger. Therefore, it is necessary to elucidate the potentialities of nuclear sciences and techniques and in what form radiations can be put into service of society. The benefits for society associated with the use of radiation ionizing largely

Scientist returns to school is an initiative promoted by Native Scientist, which is a network of over 3,000 scientists that aims to broad the horizons of children through science outreach educational programmes. Nuno Canha, researcher at C2TN, shared his research about air quality and his experience as a scientist with children from two primary schools

Sandra Rabaça, researcher at C2TN dedicates her research to the study of the properties of multifunctional molecular bilayer materials. These materials have electrical properties and could be applied to semiconductors and electronic devices.
