    Abstract: A gantry is provided for focusing beams of charged particles having differing momentum to charge ratios to a substantially common point. The gantry comprises at least one toroidal magnet having a central bore and a primary axis extending along the central bore and configured to receive beams of charged particles at different radial locations dependent on the momentum to charge ratio of the beam. The toroidal magnet comprises a plurality of discrete, substantially planar coils spaced apart and extending radially from the primary axis and configured to produce a magnetic field that is periodically symmetric about the primary axis.

    Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems for controllable magneto-photonic particles (e.g., for light delivery and/or collection) are provided. In one aspect, a magneto-photonic particle includes a supporting material, a photonic structure configured to manipulate light, and a magnetic structure controllable to make the particle move. The photonic structure and the magnetic structure are supported by the supporting material.

    Abstract: There is disclosed a vehicle (100) and a method for propelling the vehicle comprising a propulsion arrangement (102). The propulsion arrangement (102) includes a chamber arrangement (104) that is configured to store antimatter therein by using magnetic and/or electrostatic fields. The chamber arrangement (104) and a centre of gravity (106) of the vehicle are positioned at a relative distance from each other to form a matter-antimatter dipole when in operation. The matter-antimatter dipole provides a propulsion force to the vehicle (100). Optionally, the vehicle (100) is a space vehicle (namely a spacecraft, a satellite or similar).
