The seminar will be held on the occasion of the visit of colleagues from the Institute of Metallurgy and Material Science, Polish Academy of Sciences; Institute of High Pressure Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences; Warsaw University of Technology; and Institute of Materials and Machine Mechanics, Slovak Academy of Sciences. The invited speakers are experts on powder metallurgy, processing, corrosion and microstructural characterization of metallic materials with the focus, but not only on biodegradable metallic materials. In their presentations, our guests will introduce their institutes, current research activities, their main results and inventions and also possibilities of mutual collaboration.

Jan Loos, an emeritus member of the Department of Magnetics and Superconductors at the Cukrovarnická site, passed away on 9 November 2025 at the age of 95.

Dear colleagues,we would like to invite you to the seminar of Division of Elementary Particle Physics of Institute of Physics, presented by Les Johnson, the former Chief Technology Officer, NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), Huntsville, Alabama.For more info, please see invitation.

Unlike in working with particle accelerators, where scientists plan their experiments in detail in advance, Patrik Čechvala has to wait and see what particles arrive from the depths of space. He is dedicated to observing particle showers caused by photons with extraordinary energies. In an interview about the MSCA COFUND Physics for Future postdoctoral program at the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, he talks about why space is the best laboratory and how cosmic rays help uncover the secrets of the pyramids – as well as how to present the topic to the public in contests such as FameLab, in whose Czech finals he represented the Institute of Physics this year.

Imagine flipping a dial to make a material behave like a perfect conductor, a complete blocker, or something intriguingly in-between that could help us to better understand the puzzling quantum world. That’s the idea behind a new study in Physical Review Letters, co-authored by FZU researcher Filip Křížek within an international collaboration.
