Materials irradiation: from basics to applications” (MAMBA)
The MAMBA project is a groundbreaking initiative in the realm of material science and radiation physics, focusing on the study of irradiation effects on matter. This phenomenon impacts a wide array of applications, ranging from electronic devices in space to radiotherapies and various material processes.
Central to MAMBA’s mission is to enhance our understanding of how materials respond to radiation exposure. This involves investigating the physical, chemical, and biological impacts of irradiation, which can vary dramatically in scale – from atomic and nanoscale electronic excitations to macroscopic outcomes such as material failure or explosions.
