The 63rd meeting of the PAC for Condensed Matter Physics took place on 25–26 June. Topping the agenda were the IBR-2 progress, prospects for creating a new neutron source, and the development of a neutron imaging and small-angle scattering spectrometer. In addition, the committee members discussed scientific talks.

JINR specialists together with colleagues from the Necsa Nuclear Energy Corporation and the NRF: iThemba LABS are conducting research in nuclear medicine. The recent working visit of DLNP scientists to South Africa resulted in an integration of the nuclear spectrometry of perturbed angular correlations for the study of radiopharmaceuticals.

On 26 June, the fourth Obninsk NEW 2026 international youth forum took place in Kaluga Region, Russia. JINR Director moderated the plenary session entitled “Nuclear Energy for the Future of Humanity: Synergy of Technologies, Knowledge and Partnerships”.

Delegation from VBLHEP and FLNR headed by JINR Director Grigory Trubnikov visited the event, which gathered 400 participants from 76 countries. The Institute’s representatives gave talks dedicated to the NICA Collider, accelerator technology innovations and AI, and took part in a poster session.

The event brought together about 270 participants from scientific centres of Russia, China, India, and Kazakhstan. JINR employees made a significant contribution to the organization of the event and the preparation of the scientific programme, which includes about 100 talks and over 90 poster presentations on cosmic ray physics.

The event initiated by the Scientific Leader of the Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Yuri Oganessian gathered more than 60 participants from about 20 organizations. The scientific programme included applications of track membranes and tests of the electronic components for radiation resistance.

The event is organized as part of the DIAS-TH (Dubna International Advanced School of Theoretical Physics) scientific and educational project. The school is for students, postgraduates, and young scientists from Russia, China, Cuba, India, and Kazakhstan interested in fundamental issues of nuclear physics and modern methods of solving them.

From 7 to 11 September, BLTP will host the 20th DSPIN workshop in a hybrid format. Scientists interested in spin phenomena at high and intermediate energies are invited. The abstract submission is available via the link until 16 August.

The seventh issue of the international scientific journal published by JINR features articles on relevant issues of computer science, high energy, condensed matter, and mathematical physics, accelerator and nuclear physics, along with biological and chemical studies.

On his YouTube channel, Dmitry Naumov gave a lecture on black holes, one of the most mysterious objects in the universe. Learn how black holes are born, what happens when something falls inside these objects, and how scientists study bodies that stop all the light from leaving them.

After renovation, the Sports Club provides athletes with a weightlifting room, a modern gym, a sports hall, and a sauna with a relaxation room. Please note that JINR employees receive a 50% discount on the sports complex services.

The JINR Telegram channel shared another post dedicated to important dates in the Institute’s history. Throughout the years, the first summer month saw discoveries, the construction of new facilities and their launch. You can learn more about each event by opening the photos.

The Telegram channel of the Laboratory of Information Technologies at JINR published a post presenting archival pictures taken throughout the years in June.

Seminar recordings
