The Digital JINR platform, a single window into the JINR’s digital environment, was presented at the session of the JINR Committee of Plenipotentiaries in Egypt. The system includes both scientific and administrative services: from resources for users of basic facilities to registration of business trips or tickets, ordering certificates online.

Academician Yuri Oganessian, FLNR JINR Scientific Leader, became the first laureate of the Scientific Award by Sber for his pioneering work on the synthesis of superheavy elements and contribution to the establishment of the experimental base of accelerators that lay the foundation for revolutionary nuclear technologies.

The JINR Publishing Department has released a preprint “Simulation of thermal processes appearing in materials under the action of laser pulses within the hyperbolic thermal peak model” P11-2022-31. The authors propose a modification of the thermal spike model (TSM) based on a system of two coupled hyperbolic heat conduction equations.

In an interview with Director of the School, a teacher of the Department of Distributed Information and Computing Systems T. M. Bednyakova, you will learn about the idea of the School, the curriculum, and the first enrolment. One of School’s partners is the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research.

This Friday, on 25 November, you can enjoy watching an interesting film “A Separation” (2011) by an Iranian film director Asghar Farhadi. All are kindly invited! Please note that this time the film will be shown in the JINR Universal Public Library.

Blokhinka invites all interested to Guttenberg’s Smoking Room meeting, where non-fiction books are retold and discussed. This is a great opportunity to learn the main thoughts of books and understand if it is interesting to read more. The meeting will be held on 26 November at 6:00 PM.

On Saturday, 26 November, at 12:00 PM, the JINR Universal Public Library invites you to a workshop on public speaking. The first part of the meeting is a public speaking training, then participants will practice.

In the interview by the Nauka.rf portal, JINR Director RAS Academician Grigory Trubnikov spoke about the NICA megascience project, ARIADNA infrastructure, and the research planned at it.

The Russia 24 TV channel has released a special coverage in which viewers will learn about two JINR flagship projects: the Baikal-GVD Neutrino Telescope and the NICA Accelerator Complex. The coverage also provides information on the PIK Reactor of Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute, a long-term partner of JINR.

We offer you to watch the record of the seminar “A new species of extremophilic microorganism discovered in an underground spring of the Baksan neutrino observatory (BNO) of INR RAS”, which took place on 16 November. Alena Yakhnenko (DLNP) spoke about an extremophilic bacterium that is resistant to heavy metals and is able to process methanol. She also explained how such properties can be used in biotechnology and bioremediation of soils and waters.

In an interview by the Voice of Armenia newspaper, Deputy Director of the Laboratory of Information Technologies, Doctor of Physics and Mathematics Samvel Harutyunyan spoke about the creation of a research technological university in Dubna.

We offer to your attention a record of the lecture “The Origin of Man”, which was held in the JINR Universal Public Library on 5 November. Stanislav Drobyshevsky spoke about our ancestors and their cousins and second cousins.

We offer you to watch the record of the seminar “Getting prepared to speak in public” from a seminar series “Lifehacks of some use for a scientist”, which took place on 18 November. You can learn what affects the perception of the audience, tuning in with your listeners, and how to impress them.
