Photovoltaics continue to be the primary source of electrical power for most near-Sun space missions. The desire to enhance or enable new space missions through higher efficiency, increased specific power (W/kg), increased volumetric power density (W/m3) and improved radiation resistance, along with decreased costs, continues to push the developmen...

... addition to the performance advantage, the IMMX+ is being developed to be delivered to blanket and array manufacturers as a pre-integrated string of solar cells, known as Flex String Arrays (FSAs) ( fig. 2). AFRL is also investigating a range of other cell technologies which offers high performance. These include dilute nitride based multijunction solar cells [3], GaAs based quantum dot photovoltaics [4], mechanically bonded multijunction solar cells [5] and solar concentrator solar cells [6]. The mechanically bonded and concentrator cells are intended for use in space solar concentrator solar arrays that will be described in the array ...

Abstract Background Radiotherapy (RT) is the chief nonsurgical method to control malignant tumors. RT has advanced in both methodological and biological aspects over the past few decades. Though RT is a momentous adjuvant non-invasive technique, it leaves behind some unsympathetic effects. Research is going on to surmount these pessimistic sides of...

Radioresistance-induced residual and recurrent tumours are the main cause of treatment failure in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Thus, the mechanisms of NPC radioresistance and predictive markers of NPC prognosis and radioresistance need to be investigated and identified. In this study, we identified RPA3 as a candidate radioresistance marker usin...

In this study, the low-energy radiation responses of Si, Ge, and Si/Ge superlattice are investigated by an ab initio molecular dynamics method and the origins of their different radiation behaviors are explored. It is found that the radiation resistance of the Ge atoms that are around the interface of Si/Ge superlattice is comparable to bulk Ge, wh...

In the framework of the high density UMo fuel development, several solutions to U-Mo alloying are worldwide studied. Interaction is the main factor that limits the serviceability as well as licensing of high uranium density U-Mo fuel for both pool-type and high flux reactors. In this work a modification of U-Mo fuel alloying has been elaborated. It...
