North Sioux City, SD – [March 26, 2025] – NextBeam, a leading provider of Electron Beam irradiation services, is pleased to announce the launch of the NextBeam Research Fellowship, a new initiative designed to support pioneering research in accelerator-based sterilization technologies.
The fellowship offers access to cutting-edge E-Beam processing, industry-leading dosimetry and technical support, and the opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking publications.
