A special stamp cancellation ceremony took place at Russia’s Ministry of Science and Higher Education. One of the central motifs of the Technical Achievements of Russia series is a flagship project of the Institute, Baikal-GVD.

The work of Zaky Ibrahim shows that concepts from photonics and acoustics could be the key to creating next-generation neutron optics. This research could help significantly enhance the capabilities of experimental facilities at pulsed neutron sources, including the IBR-2 Reactor at JINR.

President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin honoured JINR Director, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Grigory Trubnikov with the Order “For Merit to the Fatherland” of 4th class for his significant contributions to science and dedicated service.

On the eve of the Day of Russian Science, the prestigious awards ceremony took place in Troitsk. JINR Scientific Leader, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Victor Matveev won in the Science and Life nomination.

FLNP is organizing the 32nd International Seminar on Interaction of Neutrons with Nuclei. The participants will discuss various aspects of fundamental and applied research in neutron physics and experiments with neutrons. Researchers are invited to register and submit abstracts until 1 March via the link.

MLIT JINR invites everyone interested to participate in the Mathematical Modelling and Computational Physics international conference. The event will take place from 22 to 26 June. Registration is available via the link until 10 May.

Two competitions are now available: grants for research teams led by young scientists and for fundamental studies in cooperation with the Natural Science Foundation of China.

The new exhibition will run until 13 February. Readers can find monographs, anthologies, and textbooks about science and its role in the society, the most important achievements of Russian researchers, modern studies, etc.

We invite you to watch a video featuring JINR employees from around the world: scientists, engineers, and specialists. They are united by a desire to understand the world by getting to the heart of the matter through bold hypotheses, complex calculations, and long-term experiments.

We congratulate all those who contribute to the country’s science and wish your research careers to be full of discoveries, bold ideas, and well-deserved recognition.

The new episode of People at JINR is devoted to the places where solutions for fundamental science issues and applied tasks are born. The guests are VBLHEP employees Alexey Slivin and Ilia Nikolaichuk.

The JINR Telegram Channel shared another word that scientists use. This week’s term is scintillation, which is related to detectors in experimental facilities.

AYSS opens registration for the first group of listeners. During the eight classes, students will learn the art of oratory in the JINR Universal Public Library. The working language is Russian. Application submission is available via the link until 20 February.

The JINR Telegram channel shared archival photos of the Institute. Take a look at a detector of the ARES (Analyser of Rare EventS) Spectrometer at the Laboratory of Nuclear Problems at JINR.
