The spectacular rise of proton therapy might never have happened if it were not for the pioneering work of the Paul Scherrer Institute - a Swiss centre founded to explore physics and the nature of matter, but which turned its understanding of basic science into applications that would benefit mankind. This is the place that pioneered a technique of delivering protons to tumours called pencil beam scanning (also known as spot scanning) - now used in nearly every proton therapy centre in the world. It also developed techniques to
