Research

Neutrinos, the most common particles in the Universe, we still know a little about them. They are the subject of research of NOvA experiment.

New measuring method overcomes the insufficiency of previous Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (KPFM). Thus it significantly advances our current possibilities to study the charge transfer at the atomic level.

Recent developments in scanning microscopy enable us to resolve the chemical structure of individual molecules deposited on surfaces.

CTA is a world-wide project for high-energy gamma-ray detection. More than a thousand scientists from 170 institutions work together to build the observatory for the wide astrophysical community.

The aim of the project is to calculate the physical properties of the exciton condensate under various conditions, identify those with application potential, and propose materials where they can be realized.

HiLASE turns into technologically advanced Centre of Excellence, aimed at serving a broad scientific and industrial laser user community It will drive new laser-based applications in industry, such as advanced material treatments and energy production.

This new technology is behind memory applications such as computer hard disks.

Researchers from the Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, in collaboration with researchers from Barcelona, Berkeley, and Halle have demonstrated an experimental spin-based microelectronic device using an antiferromagnetic semiconductor compound Sr₂IrO₄.

Currently, the Academy of Europe has about 3000 members from the physical sciences and technology, biological sciences and medicine, mathematics, humanities, social and cognitive sciences, economics and the law. Besides Tomas Jungwirth, Czech Republic has two other members of this section (Jiří Bičák a Pavel Exner).
