Progress and Cost Performance Management of the ITER Project Enhancement
The ITER Organization reported on July 29 that, regarding the construction progress and cost control of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), the project team has established a more detailed monthly tracking mechanism, and regularly reports key performance indicators, updated estimates at completion, and milestone trend analyses to the ITER Council. The ITER project is large in scale with complex interfaces; management efforts involve not only overall schedule and budget but also continuous assessment of thousands of activities including design, manufacturing, component installation, commissioning, and operational readiness. For tasks on the critical path, even delays of a few weeks can have cascading effects on multiple construction work packages. To identify...

Within the Southeast Atomic Energy Medical Institute (Southeast Atomic Energy Medical Institute) in Gijang-gun, Busan, the proton therapy center and heavy ion therapy center projects are being advanced simultaneously, expected to form an integrated cancer treatment hub, alleviate medical concentration in the capital region, and attract patients from other regions and overseas. Busan's first proton accelerator project can also be used for industrial purposes, benefiting regional high-tech industries and investment attraction. According to Busan City and the Busan Institute of Science and Technology Advancement (BISTEP) on August 2, the Southeast Proton Therapy Center construction project will officially break ground in the second half of this year; BISTEP recently completed a commissioned study on the establishment strategy and implementation plan for the Southeast Proton Therapy Center (executed by the Southeast Atomic Energy Medical Institute) (Southeast...

On July 25, 2026, the fourth "1+1" Youth Forum on Nuclear and Particle Physics (hereinafter referred to as the "1+1 Forum") was successfully held at the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (hereinafter referred to as IHEP). Themed "Frontier Technologies Empowering Nuclear Medicine Diagnosis and Treatment," the forum was organized by the Youth Working Committee of the Beijing Nuclear Society and the IHEP Group of the Youth Innovation Promotion Association of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, co-organized by the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the School of Nuclear Science and Technology of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, and hosted by the R&D Center for Nuclear Technology (Nuclear Detection and Nuclear Imaging) of the China Atomic Energy Authority and the Beijing Engineering Research Center for Radiation Imaging Technology and Equipment. The 1+1 Forum has always adhered to the principle of organically combining demand with technology, academia with science popularization...

On July 30, 2026, Kobe University and the Japan Atomic Energy Agency announced that a research team led by Professor Hideki Higashibata of the Graduate School of Science at Kobe University, along with Shoko Minami, who was a master's student at the time of the research, in collaboration with Yoshinori Haga, Research Director at the Japan Atomic Energy Agency, and researchers from Osaka University, experimentally confirmed for the first time the existence of a spin-triplet superconducting state with full-gap characteristics in the intermetallic compound UBe13. The findings were published in the Journal of the Physical Society of Japan on June 26 and were selected as an Editor's Choice paper. Since its discovery in 1983, UBe13 has been regarded as an important candidate material for spin-triplet superconductivity. Unlike conventional spin-singlet superconductivity...

On July 30, 2026, the Japan Atomic Energy Agency announced the development of a palm-sized, 3D-printed disposable device named µSPLIT (micro splitter) that can separate airborne particles by particle size on-site and collect them onto filters for subsequent or direct measurement. The disposable classification and measurement device µSPLIT (left) separates aerosols by particle size through controlled intake flow rate, with particles collected on filters. (Right) The main unit can be directly connected to a radiation detector via a thin film. According to reports, µSPLIT measures approximately 12 cm × 3 cm × 3 cm and is integrally molded from transparent resin using stereolithography 3D printing technology...

For 25 years, precise measurements of how muons wobble in a magnetic field have been a major puzzle in particle physics. Early experiments showed a discrepancy between the measured value of the muon's g-factor and theoretical predictions, a difference once seen as a possible hint of unknown particles. Recent new theoretical calculations and experimental analyses have brought a new twist to this puzzle. The muon is a heavier cousin of the electron that precesses like a tiny magnet in a magnetic field. Its extra wobble is quantified by the muon g-2 coefficient. According to quantum theory, known particles and interactions influence this coefficient through fleeting quantum fluctuations, making muon g-2 a key test of the Standard Model...

Researchers at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and their collaborators have recently used focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) to perform detailed characterization of the microstructure of chernozem soil samples. The study shows that this technique can identify pores smaller than 1 micron, pore morphology, and specific organic components in soil, providing a new observational tool for understanding the mechanisms of chernozem fertility formation and maintenance. The research was supported by a grant from the Russian Science Foundation and published in the 17th series "Soil Science" of the Moscow University Bulletin. Soil science research typically requires extending from the field scale to the microscopic scale. Computed tomography (CT) has been widely used to...

The Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland announced on July 28 that its researchers detected approximately 25 billion neutrons in an ultracold neutron experiment and found no signs of neutrons spontaneously transforming into mirror neutrons. The results constrain, with high certainty, the theoretical possibility of neutrons disappearing into the so-called mirror world. The mirror world hypothesis posits that every elementary particle in the real world may have a corresponding mirror particle, such as mirror electrons, mirror protons, and mirror neutrons. Such particles interact extremely weakly with ordinary matter, potentially connecting primarily through gravity or rare oscillations of neutral particles, and have therefore also been considered as dark matter candidates...
