Atoms or moles?

edit

Article says:

The number of moles in 12 grams of carbon-12 became a matter of experimental determination.

Isn't that 1?

Should the text be:

The number of atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12 became a matter of experimental determination.

C-12 carbon ion based hadron-therapy against cancer.

edit

Article could mention that C-12 ion has recently found use in hadron therapy synchrotrons for cancer treatment. (Hadron therapy originally used protons emitted by cyclotrons but its "Bragg peak" is imperfect thus causing radio-toxicity in organs located in front of and behind of the tumor targeted. In contrast C-12 has an almost perfect Bragg-diagram and thus seen as a justified method, especially when treating childhood tumors and otherwise radiation-resistant cancers, despite the massive cost of accelerator hardware. Currently Japan is the world leader in carbon-ion radiation therapy with at least 5 fully operational facilities.) 158.88.16.5 (talk) 14:57, 15 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
