Dear ladies, March 2026 is a special time, as JINR celebrates its 70th anniversary. The history of our great discoveries and achievements is undeniably connected to the outstanding intellect and creative energy of women working in the field. With all my heart, I wish you good health and happiness!

The Physics of Fundamental Interactions session and conference started at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics. The event is aimed at developing partnerships between scientific and educational organizations in the creation of modern research infrastructure. More than 30 JINR scientists are participating in the conference.

DLNP researchers, together with colleagues from the Institute for Nuclear Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences, studied the microbial consortium of a deep-sea underground salt spring at the Baksan Neutrino Observatory. The article is published in Microbiology Spectrum.

The Laboratory of Information Technologies hosted an event dedicated to MLIT Deputy Scientific Leader Tatiana Strizh. Numerous congratulations addressed to the researcher served as a recognition of her contribution to the development of the laboratory, the introduction of new technologies, and the strengthening of international cooperation.

On 6 March, the 28th JINR Expertise for Member States and Partner Countries programme ended. At the final round table, the participants shared their impressions of JINR and discussed further steps to develop scientific and technical cooperation.

The publication provides information on the latest scientific results obtained at the JINR laboratories, updates on large-scale experiments, construction of new facilities, discoveries, inventions, etc. JINR’s social life is presented extensively.

Please enjoy a review of the first part of this year’s volume of Physics of Elementary Particles and Atomic Nuclei, a journal that publishes articles with results of the original theoretical, experimental, scientific and technical, methodical, and applied research.

The JINR Publishing Department has issued the first part of this year’s volume of the “Physics of Elementary Particles and Atomic Nuclei, Letters” journal that includes articles on theoretical, experimental, technical, methodical, and applied research.

Watch the video to find out about the progress of the NICA Accelerator Complex, the synthesis of element 119, and cooperation between Mexico and JINR.

This time, we welcome a VBLHEP JINR researcher Marimuthu Natarajan, who came to Dubna from India to study heavy ion physics. In the episode, he discusses his scientific career and life in Russia. Please note that Russian and English subtitles are available.

To celebrate the International Women’s Day, the JINR Telegram channel shared cards with outstanding women, for whom science is not just an occupation, but an integral part of their lives. Congratulations to all female employees of our Institute on the wonderful holiday!
