Master your data with this hands-on workshop on FAIR Wizard — an online tool for creating and managing Data Management Plans. In just 90 minutes, you’ll learn how to streamline your workflow, enhance data quality, and easily apply FAIR principles in your research.

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.

On Friday, September 15, 2025, the national round of the prestigious Falling Walls Lab Czech Republic competition took place at the National Technical Library in Prague. Scientist Tereza Roesel from the Division of Optics of the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences achieved significant success when awarded second place by the expert jury with her project Breaking the Wall of Single-Molecule Detection and, together with Veronika Šedajová from Palacký University, she also won the audience award.

A recent study published in Advanced Science unveils a groundbreaking approach to designing responsive materials by manipulating atomic vibrations. The research, led by M. Tyunina, brings together a collaborative team from the Institute of Physics in Prague, the Institute of Solid State Physics in Riga, the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart, and the University of Oulu in Finland. Though informally organized, the team shares a deep commitment to exploring the fundamental principles of condensed matter physics.
