This endows them with anomalous mechanical properties that are reviewed in this Colloquium. The case of dry scalar active matter is considered, which encompasses systems whose large-scale behaviors are entirely captured by their density—a scalar field. Arguably the simplest of active-matter systems, they have attracted considerable attention due to their unusual properties when put in contact with boundaries, inclusions, tracers, or disordered potentials. Indeed, studies of the mechanical pressure of active fluids and of the dynamics of passive tracers have shown that active systems impact their environment in nontrivial ways, for example, by propelling and rotating anisotropic inclusions. Conversely, the long-range density and current modulations induced by localized obstacles show how the environment can have a far-reaching impact on active fluids. This is best exemplified by the propensity of bulk and boundary disorder to destroy bulk phase separation in active matter, thereby showing active systems to be much more sensitive to their surroundings than passive ones. This Colloquium aims to provide a unifying perspective on the rich interplay between active systems and their environments.","PeriodicalId":21172,"journal":{"name":"Reviews of Modern Physics","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":44.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142369012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

FLASH is based on delivering radiation doses at ultrahigh dose rates (UHDR; <math display=\"inline\" xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"><mrow><mo form=\"prefix\">></mo><mn>4</mn><mn>0</mn><mtext> </mtext><mtext> </mtext><mrow><mi>Gy</mi><mo>/</mo><mi mathvariant=\"normal\">s</mi></mrow></mrow></math>), more than 1000 times faster than irradiation at conventional dose rates (CONV). The experimental evidence demonstrating the differential effect of dose rate modulation on tumors and normal tissue is reviewed. Preclinical data consistently show that the antitumor efficacy of cytotoxic doses is not dependent on dose rate, but in normal tissues UHDR significantly reduces normal tissue toxicities compared to CONV, as observed <i>in vivo</i>. These observations define the FLASH effect. The FLASH effect has been reported to occur when using single or hypofractionated dose regimens in several experimental animal models (mice, rat, zebrafish, pig, and cats) and in multiple organs (lung, skin, gut, and brain) by numerous groups worldwide. Note that the FLASH effect has been demonstrated with electron, photon, and hadron (proton and heavier ion) beams. The current status and future technological development are reviewed, with an emphasis on critical beam parameters, future beam modalities, and prerequisites for safe clinical translation in terms of dosimetry, radioprotection, and treatment planning systems. Mechanistic investigations at the physicochemical and biological levels are presented, as are strategies to support and initiate clinical translation. This comprehensive review provides multidisciplinary radiation scientists with a road map of the technological, physical, chemical, biological, and clinical considerations that have made FLASH topical. These considerations are presented with a realistic and practical backdrop of the limitations and challenges that lie ahead.","PeriodicalId":21172,"journal":{"name":"Reviews of Modern Physics","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":44.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142276004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This interest was solidified by my mentor, Arnold Schmidt, and deepened by Paul Corkum, during the 1990s in Vienna. They have influenced my path most profoundly. It has been a tremendous privilege to stand on the shoulders of scientists, including many Nobel laureates, who made seminal contributions to our understanding of electrons and light, when walking the path to exploring sub-atomic motions.
