Fyzikální Ústav AV ČR, v. v. i. (FZU; in English: Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences) is a public research institute, oriented on the fundamental and applied research in physics. The founder of the institute is The Czech Academy of Sciences.
The present research programme of the Institute comprises five branches of physics: particle physics, the physics of condensed matter, solid state physics, optics and plasma physics. It also corresponds to the way how the institute is divided into major research divisions.

He started out as a participant of the Young Physicists Tournament but he gradually transitioned from being a participant to being a juror and, momentarily, contributes to the event as one of its organisers. He would like to teach the young talents that research does not start by substituting into a formula and does not end by resolving a research problem. A great deal of success lies in the ability to formulate a research problem, and, above all, to present the results of the research to experts as well as the public. This applies equally to the Young Physicist Tournament which, together with his scientific activities at the Institute of Physics, belongs to his affairs of the heart.

A team of Czech scientists demonstrated for the first time a controlled transfer of electron within one molecule. The work published in the journal Nature Communications brings important knowledge not only about one of the key processes in physics, chemistry, and biology but also provides inspiration for the construction of quantum computers based on molecular cellular automata or super-capacitors for storing energy in individual molecules.

One of the prerequisites for worker satisfaction is their being able to balance their work and family life at the workplace. An uneasy task for which the Institute of Physics, as an employer, has looked for and found an effective solution. The emergence of Visitors‘ Rooms for adults with children across the centres of the Institute of Physics has put wide smiles on parents‘ and their children‘s faces.

Stanislav Šafrata may be considered without exaggeration to be the founding father of cryogenics and low-temperature physics in the former Czechoslovakia. He was born on 9 September 1925 in Osturňa. Later, he attended a grammar school in Bratislava, Slovakia, and a Higher Industrial School in Prague. In 1949, he graduated from the Faculty of Natural Sciences of Charles University in Prague, where he completed his additional scientific training in physics three years later. The scope of his scientific expertise and activities was always very broad as evidenced by a monography co-authored with V. Petržílek: Electricity and Magnetism, published in 1953.

Cosmic acceleration and Dark energy might not exist. The dispute of professor Subir Sarkar about the significance of the supernovae evidence presented by the 2011 Nobel Prize teams continues. One of the hot topics at the workshop Multimessengers@Prague, where we met.
