Jiří Hybler studied geology at the Faculty of Science and was directed to crystallography, which was then beginning to develop rapidly in our country, by Professor Jiří Novák.
A book titled "Věda je odvaha” (Science Requires Courage) presenting life stories of sixteen inspiring scientists has just been published. One of the stories in this book is dedicated to Hana Lísalová, head of the Laboratory of Functionl Biointerface of the Division of Optics at the Institute of Physics.
The ICHEP 2024 conference, the premier event in particle and astroparticle physics, is set to take place from18 to 24 July at the Prague Congress Centre. This highly anticipated conference will gather over 1300 scientists from around the globe to discuss the latest findings and advancements in the field.
Eleven enthusiastic students from high schools in and around Olomouc participated in the Summer School of Optics, which was organized for the tenth time by the Joint Laboratory of Optics. A week full of science allowed them to take a peek into the secrets of optics and get acquainted with the latest findings in this promising field.
Společný výzkum vědců z NCK MATCA Fyzikálního ústavu AV ČR a průmyslových partnerů otvírá možnosti použití nových technologií slibujících významný pokrok v jaderném inženýrství a vývoji supravodivých materiálů.
It is not a common thing that a new telescope for detecting cosmic rays is introduced to the world. The feat of our colleagues from the Joint Laboratory of Optics in Olomouc can thus be seen as unique.
The latest episode of the popular series Nezkreslená věda focuses on a key topic of our time – the photovoltaic harnessing of the Sun's energy.
May 1st 2024 marked the 20th anniversary of the Czech Republic joining the European Union (EU). The past 20 years have profoundly changed the Czech research landscape, German-Czech research cooperation and the European Research Area. “Science has greatly benefitted from the possibilities that Europe offers during the last decades. Mobility is a striking example, funding opportunities are another,” says Max Planck President Patrick Cramer at the opening ceremony for the first three Dioscuri Centres in the Czech Republic on 17 May 2024.
The highest energy cosmic ray particles are likely to penetrate much deeper into the atmosphere than previously thought. The incoming particles are therefore likely to be much heavier. New and fundamental insights emerge from a method that generalises the approach to predicting models of cosmic particle collisions with the Earth's atmosphere. The accuracy of Jakub Vícha's method has been confirmed by hundreds of international scientists at the Pierre Auger Observatory, as shown in a study published these days in Physical Review D.
