- 1Penn Medicine and IBA Launch Global Proton Therapy Venture▼Penn Medicine and IBA Launch Joint Venture to Advance Proton Therapy and Radiation Oncology Program Development Worldwide
Penn Medicine and IBA have announced a joint venture aimed at advancing proton therapy and radiation oncology program development worldwide. The partnership will combine the University of Pennsylvania health system's clinical expertise with the Belgian company's proton therapy technology to help institutions globally develop advanced cancer treatment programs. The news was picked up by international outlets including The Manila Times, reflecting interest in the global expansion of this cancer care technology.
- 2Large Hadron Collider Shutdown Process Has Begun▼The Disconnection of the Large Hadron Collider Has Begun
Reports say the disconnection of the Large Hadron Collider has begun, marking the start of a shutdown phase for the world's largest particle accelerator at CERN near Geneva. The machine, which smashes protons to probe fundamental physics, requires lengthy decommissioning or maintenance procedures when taken offline. Details on the timeline or purpose of the disconnection were not provided in the initial coverage.
- 3Polish Nuclear Institute Leads Neutrino Study at the LHC▼NCBJ Leads Study Of Neutrino Scattering At The Large Hadron Collider
Poland's National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ) is leading a study of neutrino scattering at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The work examines how neutrinos, particles that rarely interact with matter, behave at the highest energies ever produced, a field opened by the LHC's forward physics experiments. Researchers say the measurements could sharpen understanding of the weak force and proton structure.
