In Cukrovarnická, the Sun shines even at night

Mon, 23/09/2024 - 18:31
Even neighbourhood festivals are influenced by fashion trends. On the third Saturday in September, a part of Cukrovarnická Street was traditionally transformed into a friendly and sunny neighbourhood space. This year's Zažít město jinak (Experience the City Differently) event ran along the lines of the circular economy – clothes and books were exchanged, photovoltaic devices were demonstrated and there was also positive chemistry.

New biosensor field technology for field use: fast and reliable detection food of pathogens without complicated sample preparation

Fri, 20/09/2024 - 18:37
Researchers from the Laboratory of Functional Biointerfaces of the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences have advanced the development of a compact, fully portable and fast biosensing device and demonstrated its effectiveness in detecting bacterial and viral pathogens in a wide range of food samples. Their accomplishment has been achieved by means of intense teamwork, innovative thinking and the involvement of young researchers who together have created a technology with the potential to improve diagnostics in the fields of food safety and medicine. An important part in this success has also been played by effective collaboration with potential end users, e.g. the Protection Service of the Police of the Czech Republic and other entities.

Family fun day: the Institute of Physics was taken over by pirates

Fri, 20/09/2024 - 07:56
Another traditional "Family Day", this time pirate themed, brought fun to our employees and their families. Although the weather made it clear that summer was definitely over, it did not prevent a large turnout of our colleagues and their family members. "Our events are not just about having fun, they strengthen the relationships between our employees, their families and support our organisational culture. It is important for us to create a friendly and supportive environment," says Simona Dačeva, HR Team Manager, on behalf of the organizational team. Image Show all 16 photos

LHC experiments at CERN observe quantum entanglement at the highest energy yet

Tue, 17/09/2024 - 21:09
Quantum entanglement is a fascinating feature of quantum physics – the theory of the very small. If two particles are quantum-entangled, the state of one particle is tied to that of the other, no matter how far apart the particles are.

The Galaxy as never seen before: surprising discoveries through SST-1M telescopes

Tue, 17/09/2024 - 08:32
The sensitivity of the SST-1M pair of Cherenkov telescopes at very high energies exceeds that of any existing Cherenkov imaging telescope in the world. This surprising news was presented at a conference in Milan by Jakub Jurýšek. At the Institute of Physics, together with his team, he is developing software that allows stereoscopic reconstruction of observed cosmic gamma-ray showers and subsequent imaging of the sources of these gamma photons in space.  Description An image of the area around the Dragonfly nebula taken with the SST-1M telescopes | photo: Jiří Srba

Workshop pro vedoucí: Já a můj tým 2

Mon, 16/09/2024 - 16:53
Zvládněte nejdřív dobře řídit sebe, abyste mohli dobře řídit svůj tým. K tomu, abychom správně vedli naše týmy, je třeba nejdříve vést správně sebe sama. Leader, mimo jiné, otevírá ve svých týmech potenciál, drží pro ně bezpečný prostor, je pro mnohé vzorem a své týmy ovlivňuje svoji osobností. Čím více umíme pracovat sami se sebou, tím lépe dokážeme pomáhat ostatním růst. Na workshopu si uvědomíte přesah leadershipu do okolního ekosystému a důležitost self-leadershipu efektivní vedení týmů. Poznáte možné komunikační kanály a práci s nimi tak, abyste se efektivně dorozuměli s jednotlivými typy lidí a obráceně. Zapracujete na svém time managementu v kontextu vedení lidí. Vydefinujete si svůj osobní kompas a své stresory včetně jejich možné eliminace. Forma: 2x 6hodinový trénink + možnost individuální konzultace

The Quest Continues: the World's Most Powerful Observatory will detect new unknown sources of high energy photons

Tue, 10/09/2024 - 13:28
Extreme and powerful objects in the Universe, such as supermassive black holes and supernovae, emit gamma rays. The Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) will become the world’s most powerful ground-based observatory in high-energy gamma-ray astronomy. Its Co-Spokesperson Rene Ong, who visited FZU this spring, described the scientific high-energy odyssey.

LASCIMAT project: a step forward in research on scintillation and laser materials for challenging applications

Tue, 03/09/2024 - 11:35
Scintillation materials play a crucial role wherever ionizing radiation or accelerated particle beams need to be monitored. There are increased requirements on them for example in accelerators in industry, electron beam detection in scanning electron microscopes, or in hybrid detectors for the new generation of medical imaging devices in positron emission tomography.
