Research to harness the scientific potential of laser-driven technology is being pioneered by a physicist working at Queen's University in Belfast.

Dr Marco Borghesi is part of an international team which has developed a technique that controls the properties of laser-accelerated ions.

This method can be used in scientific, technological and medical areas, potentially including cancer therapy.

Queen's Professor Ciaran Lewis said it was a "significant breakthrough".
