During the visit aimed at discussing joint research, JINR scientists held a scientific seminar to present the Institute’s studies in time-domain diffuse optics. In addition, the programme included an introduction to Skoltech’s advanced research in diffuse optics, optoacoustics, and biotechnology.

More than 90 participants gathered in Bolshiye Koty village to explore modern particle physics and astrophysics research. The programme includes lectures by leading experts, hands-on classes with real detectors, team project activities, and group discussions moderated by specialists.

The 11th International Conference “Distributed Computing and Grid Technologies in Science and Education” took place from 7 to 11 July. The key topic was prospects for the development of high-performance and distributed computing, modern grid technologies, and big data processing.

The discovery was made by scientists from the CMS and ATLAS Collaborations at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN with the participation of JINR physicists. The results could provide insights into the physics of top quarks and the nature of strong interactions between them.

Employees of the Laboratory of High Energy Physics at JINR created a program for operating a SMSD-4.2CAN stepper motor controller with a minimal set of commands. The program allows users to move the controller and has an emergency stop function.

On 15 July, at the Laboratory of High Energy Physics, young JINR scientists and specialists, winners of the Social Mortgage competition and laureates of the Moscow Region Governor’s Prize, met with Andrey Vorobyov. The key topic was the development of comfortable infrastructure in Dubna.

A research intern at the Laboratory of Nuclear Problems at JINR Sergey Zavyalov received a RAS medal in nuclear physics for developing software for the Baikal-GVD Experiment. Congratulations on this achievement!

Every week, the JINR Telegram channel shares archival photos of the Institute. We invite you to look at the Meteor-87 hydrofoil passenger ferry against the background of the Volga River embankment, photographed 48 years ago, in July 1977.

The second part of the interview with DLNP Deputy Director Dmitry Naumov aired on the Radio of Russia. It is devoted to the global neutrino network, the mystery of the origin of ultra-high energy neutrinos, and the ways they can help study galaxies and black holes.

From 4 to 8 July, 113 players from different Russian cities competed at the Institute’s Tennis Courts. JINR employees actively participated and won medals. Congratulations on the successful performances!

The Komus Spartakiad took place on 12 July, at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow. This is a large-scale summer event; this year, the participants competed in 19 sports. Congratulations to the Institute’s team!
