  "summary": "Vietnamese scientists are exploring the universe through participation in two of the world's largest particle physics experiments, Belle II and T2K, both based in Japan. Dr. Nguyen Anh Ky of the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology's Institute of Physics leads the Vietnamese research team, which has taken on core technical responsibilities in both experiments. In Belle II, the team has contributed to the construction, installation, testing, and calibration of the central drift chamber, a critical detector component. In T2K, they support the operation of the neutrino experiment. These international collaborations enable Vietnamese researchers to contribute to some of the most fundamental questions in physics, including the origin and evolution of the universe.",
