SAIF – South African Isotope Facility
The South African Isotope Facility (SAIF) marks a groundbreaking advancement in cancer treatment and nuclear medicine research, positioning South Africa as a leader in the production of high-energy radioisotopes. Housed at iThemba LABS, SAIF is equipped with a dedicated cyclotron capable of producing advanced therapeutic radioisotopes, which target and destroy cancer cells with unprecedented precision.

iThemba LABS
Tandetron – a linear accelerator at iThemba LABS
The Tandetron is a linear accelerator of protons, alpha particles, and heavy charged particles up to argon, located at iThemba LABS, South Africa's leading research center. Particles accelerated at the Tandetron are directed to various experimental stations designed to determine the composition, concentration, and distribution of various elements in materials, as well as for astrophysical research.

JINR
Deep underwater neutrino telescope Baikal-GVD
At Lake Baikal (Russia), scientists from the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research launched the largest underwater neutrino telescope in the Northern Hemisphere called the Baikal-GVD. It is a unique installation designed to register and study ultrahigh-energy neutrino fluxes from space, originating from the bowels of both young and dying galaxies and various exotic stellar objects.
