Culinary enthusiasts will find a diverse array of dining options, including signature cocktails and canapes at PLUME, authentic Cantonese dishes at Hai Tien Lo, traditional Japanese cuisine at Keyaki, and international fare at Edge and Pacific Emporium.

In celebration of Singapore's 60th National Day (SG60) this year, the hotel offers tailored SG60 MICE packages infused with Singapore flair, available from now until 31 March 2026. Each refreshment break is a feast for the senses, featuring a vibrant selection of Singaporean delicacies. Indulge in local favourites, prepared à la minute at the Chef's live station, such as Kaya Toast (A beloved and iconic local breakfast staple originating from Singapore, Kaya Toast consists of two thin slices of toasted bread spread with rich coconut jam and butter), freshly-made Popiah (Part of Singapore's street food culture with roots in China, these soft spring rolls are filled with a flavourful mix of fresh ingredients, including prawns, eggs, and crunchy vegetables), Nyonya Kueh (Colourful traditional treats that reflect Singapore's unique Peranakan heritage, often made with rice flour and filled with sweet or savoury fillings), Kopi Tarik (Hailing from Malaysia, Kopi Tarik or 'Pulled Coffee' in Malay, is a popular beverage made with coffee and condensed milk, using a unique 'pulling' technique to create a frothy, milky texture), and more. These local culinary offerings not only elevate the experiences of meeting delegates but also highlight Pan Pacific Singapore's commitment to commemorating Singapore's 60th National Day.

A full day meeting package is priced from S$155.00++ per guest and includes lunch and two refreshment breaks. For those with shorter agendas, a half day meeting package is available from S$140.00++ per guest and includes lunch and one refreshment break. More details here.

With a legacy of hospitality excellence, Pan Pacific Singapore is the premier destination for those looking to harness the power of in-person interaction. Here, distinguished events blend elegance and innovation to create memorable experiences.

Opening new possibilities for medical and science

TOKYO, April 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Orbray Co., Ltd., has successfully developed a radiation detector utilizing its proprietary high-quality, large-diameter single-crystal diamond technology. The exceptional physical properties of diamond, including radiation hardness, allow Orbray's diamond-based radiation detector to function in high-radiation environments where conventional detectors made from other materials would degrade. In addition, the composition of diamonds is closely equivalent to that of biological tissue, making it particularly well-suited for medical applications such as radiation diagnostics and therapy. Orbray has demonstrated that its diamond-based detector can achieve high-precision measurements across a wide range of radiation types—from low-energy diagnostic X-rays to high-energy therapeutic X-rays.

Diamonds have ideal physical properties for radiation detection, including high thermal and chemical stability and fast response. Additionally, diamonds are composed of carbon, with an atomic number of six, and are particularly closely equivalent to biological tissue. Diamonds have, therefore, been extensively studied as radiation detectors in the fields of nuclear engineering, nuclear fusion, high-energy physics, and medical applications. Until the 1990s, research relied on selected natural diamonds. Since the 2000s, advancements in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology have enabled the synthesis of high-purity diamonds, significantly improving detector performance. Single-crystal CVD diamonds offer high sensitivity and excellent spectral characteristics. Polycrystalline CVD diamonds have been used to obtain high sensitivity by increasing the detection area. However, they exhibit lower sensitivity and inferior spectral characteristics compared to single-crystal diamonds.

Orbray announced that it had developed a 2-inch diameter high-quality (100) free-standing diamond substrate utilizing its proprietary step-flow growth method in 2021. Based on the diamond, radiation detectors (Fig. 1) have been developed in collaboration with Tokyo Metropolitan University, Tohoku University, Tohoku Institute of Technology, and Osaka University. These radiation detectors have exhibited high sensitivity and excellent spectroscopic characteristics in X-ray systems in medical settings. The detector can be scaled to the large area configuration (Fig. 2), enabling ultra-high sensitivity. Orbray will continue to develop products while conducting user evaluations.

At the Japan Radiology Congress 2025 in Yokohama Japan from April 10th to 13th, the diamond manufacturing methods and evaluation results of the detectors will be presented. The developed actual radiation detectors will be exhibited at the Exhibition held alongside there.
