- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.

How are they able to target cancer cells?
Very carefully.
Literally, it's like they aim a laser at it
With physics.
The particles lose energy roughly depending on their inverse velocity(=>energy) squared
What that means is that high energy particles deposit little energy at first, but as they gradually slow down they deposit more and more. There is a peak where most of the energy is deposited, depending on the starting energy and density of material (tissue). This is called the Bragg Peak and having non-constant (range of) starting energies you can specify a range of dosage deposition instead of a single point.
With shit like this
They focus the photon beams onto the affected area.
