The traditional way of transforming matter is to transmit energy to it through the processes of conduction or convection.
|
 |
Radio treatment works differently: the energy is introduced directly into the matter at
an ambient temperature.
|
 |
It is well known that matter is composed of molecules which are themselves made up of atoms.
|
 |
The atom consists of a nucleus, made up of protons and neutrons, around which revolves a cloud of electrons.
The atoms are linked together by an electron.
|
 |
The process of radio treatment consists of bombarding the products to be treated with a beam of
accelerated electrons.When these arrive within the matter they smash against its slower moving
electrons and separate them violently from their atoms.
|
 |
As a result of this shock the latter, in their turn, are accelerated and smash against other electrons.
Atomic bonds are thus completely overturned : it’s a genuine molecular revolution !
|
 |
This revolution may have two different results :
1) either the creation of new molecular bonds – the phenomenon of radio-reticulation
|
 |
2) or the rupture of molecular bonds – the phenomenon of radio-degradation.
|
 |
In the case of living matter, the DNA links are broken – the phenomenon of radio-sterilisation.
