INSPIRED T-SHIRTS
Over the years, legions of t-shirts have been designed by Faculty, staff and students. The Archives has a rich collection of IMSA Apparel, as a previous exhibit also shows. The shirts on display in this exhibit were designed by or with student input (except for one).https://digitalcommons.imsa.edu/archives_exhibits/1011/thumbnail.jp

Synthesis of the Nanoscintilators and Characterization of the NanoparticlesInvolved in X-Ray Activated Therapy for Cancer Research
In cancer treatment, nano-scintillators have emerged as crucial for advancing X-ray-activated therapy. These innovative materials possess a unique ability to convert X-ray radiation into visible light, enhancing the effectiveness of treatment and reducing damage to healthy tissues. This paper provides an in-depth exploration of the synthesis and characterization of nano-scintillators designed explicitly for this purpose. It delves into various fabrication techniques to create nanoparticles with precise control over their size, shape, and composition, optimizing their light-emitting capacity and ensuring compatibility with the human body. The characterization process involves a multidisciplinary approach, utilizing spectroscopic, structural, and imaging analyses to gain a comprehensive understanding of the properties and performance of the nanoparticles when exposed to X-ray radiation. A thorough grasp of these nanoparticles\u27 physical and chemical characteristics is crucial for their successful integration into cancer therapy protocols. As a result, this study makes a significant contribution to the development of next-generation nanomaterials, ultimately improving targeted and efficient cancer treatment strategies and opening up new avenues for research in the field of oncology
