Tomorrow's World
A report on the first trials of an expensive new space-age cancer therapy developed in Japan. The Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator is designed to kill tumours buried deep inside the body by bombarding them with a high-energy beam of carbon atoms. Plus, reports on a revolutionary new helmet fitted with an airbag which could stop American footballers from breaking their necks in crunch tackles; and a device which could help salmon farmers to keep their fish healthy - a trap that lures sea lice to their deaths. http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/c85db4069ee84d189cd2f27387def3d6
