The international NAUKA 0+ festival took place in Rio de Janeiro as part of the BRICS+ Open Science Week. The JINR booth featured a multimedia exhibition about the Institute’s key projects. In addition, guests could take virtual tours of the main facilities and learn about how they operate.

The international event is taking place from 7 to 10 July. Participants are discussing physical phenomena significant not only for theoretical physics, but also for technology, particularly electronics, low-dissipation computing, and quantum information systems.

The event aimed to attract young specialists to the topics of the applied research conducted by the Joint Institute and its partners from Mongolia. The organizers were JINR, the Nuclear Energy Commission under the Government of Mongolia, the National University of Mongolia, and the Mongolian Academy of Sciences.

Upon completion of the next modernisation stage, the facility’s peak performance is 2.2 Petaflops. This opens up broad opportunities for the introduction of machine learning methods into the JINR research programme. The facility was upgraded by the Laboratory of Information Technologies at JINR and the RSC Group.

From 30 June to 18 July, the JINR Science and Technology Library is hosting the New Book Acquisitions exhibition. Visitors can find the Annual JINR Report, a monograph by Evgeny Krasavin, Conversations with Scientists book dedicated to the 70th JINR anniversary, and various textbooks on physics, mathematics, and materials science.

Experts from JINR, CERN, Russia, China, France, Mexico, and other countries are discussing the progress and future role of grid technologies. The conference will last until 11 July. You can listen to the plenary talks online via the link.

Join the school’s free events from 6 to 12 July. You can listen to lectures on Soviet science and technology at the JINR Scientists’ Club or take part in 10 discussions and master classes to learn about the basics of archiving at the Institute’s Museum and Library.

As part of the Big Challenges programme at the Sirius Educational Centre, schoolchildren are creating and testing a prototype of a modular muon detector. Employees of the Laboratory of Nuclear Problems at JINR are actively participating in the event.

Until 26 July, the Russian Museum is hosting the Empathy Machines exhibition, featuring 13 projects at the intersection of science and art. One of the installations was made with the supervision of the Institute’s researchers. A DLNP JINR junior researcher Mikhail Zarubin shared his experience of participating in the project.

Every week, the JINR Telegram channel shares archival photos of the Institute. We invite you to look at participants of the International Symposium on Nuclear Structure relaxing on a motor ship’s deck, photographed 57 years ago, in July 1968.

The Institute’s young researchers participated in the rich business programme, which included more than 70 events in the most important modern areas of science. A DLNP researcher Vladislav Rozhkov took part in a panel discussion on cooperation between youth scientific communities.

JINR representatives visited the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology on 8 July. The parties exchanged expertise and spoke about joint research in biomedical technologies.

A new issue of the Weekly JINR Newspaper #25 has been published. Please note that you can read an English version on the JINR Newspaper’s website.
