description During the COVID-19 pandemic, members of the DarkSide-20k (DS) Dark Matter international experimental collaboration together with engineers, scientists and manufacturers in Italy, Canada, the USA and eight other countries diverted their research efforts to develop MVM, a new readily manufactured, relatively low-cost ventilator tailored to the most severe intubated patients. Using expertise developed for DS, they produced and received authorization for 7300 units delivered to the Canadian government for its stockpile, now being considered for donation to other countries in urgent need. Other members of DS are using photo-electronics innovation to develop 3D[Formula: see text] a more sensitive positron emission tomography (PET) scanner that can provide better resolution and reduce doses, of particular value for providing access for pediatric patients.
