Overview
From the inception of particle physics during the 1930s up to the recent 21st century drives, the inventive concepts and technologies of molecular physics have infiltrated the mainstream society to change how we live. There is a long and developing list of viable applications with regards to particle physics. Today, every significant medical center globally uses accelerators generating x-rays, neutrons, protons, and heavy ions for diagnosis and cure of illnesses. It is believed that there are more than 7,000 actives medical linacs across the planet that have treated around 30 million patients. Likewise, biomedical researchers use molecular physics advances to unravel the design of proteins, data that is critical to understanding biological cycles and treating illness. A better comprehension of protein design allows for the improvement of viable medications, for example, Kaletra, among the globe’s most-prescribed medication to combat AIDS. The future for particle physics is bright and still more is yet to be discovered.
