The scientists conducted air biomonitoring – a crucial task for minimising environmental risks and protecting public health – near three highways. Moss was placed in special bags in roadside areas and then tested in the laboratory for absorbed pollutants.

The method developed by specialists from DLNP at JINR and the ITMO University simplifies parameter determination and can thus be used for twisted particle monitoring at accelerators. In addition, it can find applications in the electron and ion microscopy.

2 February marked the 95th anniversary of the birth of Victor Alekseevich Sviridov – one of Vladimir Veksler’s collaborators , a co-author of JINR discoveries, and an outstanding experimental physicist. A seminar in his honour will take place on 20 February.

The International Remote Student Training will take place from 2 March to 19 April. You can submit your application until 19 February.

From 5 to 9 October, the science city will host the 9th Congress on Radiation Research. The event will be held in a hybrid format, with international participation. Registration and abstract submission are available via the link.

As part of the annual school at Dubna University, both students and specialists have the chance to enhance their skills under the guidance of employees of the Laboratory of High Energy Physics at JINR. You can find the list of courses on the website.

Everyone interested are welcome to a lecture about Mikhail Vasilievich Lomonosov at the JINR International Conference Centre and a family quest organized by the JINR Universal Public Library. Please note that registration is required for the quest.

The new episode of People at JINR is devoted to those solving tasks at the NICA injector and to the applications of similar technologies in everyday life.

The JINR Telegram channel shared archival photos of the Institute. Take a look at the MT-17 Microtron Electron Accelerator at the Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions at JINR.

The Institute’s employees from Cuba took part in an event dedicated to its culture and society. You can watch the short film about JINR’s collaboration with the country, shown during the evening and dedicated to the 50th anniversary of Cuba as a JINR Member State, via the link.

We invite you to watch a recording of the seminar “Relativistic quantum-mechanical description of the acceleration of twisted Dirac particles in a uniform electric field” by Alexander Silenko.

A new issue of the Weekly JINR Newspaper, #3, has been published. Please note that you can read an English version on the JINR Newspaper’s website.
