Qatar has launched a program to train nuclear engineers, drawing concern from the Middle East Media Research Institute. The program raises questions about the Gulf state's nuclear ambitions and the purposes such expertise could serve. Details about the program's scope, partners, and timeline remain limited, and it is not clear how observers beyond MEMRI are responding.
- 2Theoretical physics sheds light on tumour DNA mechanisms▼Theoretical physics helps unveil the molecular mechanisms of extra-chromosomal DNA in tumours
Researchers, working with Italy's National Institute for Nuclear Physics, have applied theoretical physics methods to uncover the molecular mechanisms of extra-chromosomal DNA in tumours. These DNA fragments exist outside normal chromosomes and are known to drive cancer growth and drug resistance. The study suggests physics-based modelling can reveal how such DNA behaves, opening new paths for understanding and potentially treating aggressive cancers.

Ukraine's nuclear regulator says Russian forces attacked the Institute for Nuclear Research in Kyiv on 30 September, where the VVR-M research reactor is located. Authorities reported that radiation levels remain normal after the strike. The attack on a nuclear research site has drawn attention to the risks posed to nuclear safety during the war.
- 6Polish Nuclear Institute Leads Neutrino Study At The LHC▼NCBJ Leads Study Of Neutrino Scattering At The Large Hadron Collider
The National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ) in Poland is leading a study of neutrino scattering at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The research examines how neutrinos interact with matter in the collider's environment, a topic that has drawn growing interest as experiments detect forward-produced particles in unprecedented numbers. Details of the findings have not yet been widely reported, but the project highlights NCBJ's expanding role in international particle physics collaboration.
