“#Measuring electron emission from irradiated biomolecules” Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain When fast-moving ions cross paths with large biomolecules, the resulting collisions produce many low-energy electrons which can go on to ionize the molecules even further. To fully understand how biological structures are affected by this radiation, it is important for physicists to measure how electrons…
