On 22–24 April, the conference entiteld “Tagged neutron method and neutron technologies: research, development, and application in the oil and mining industries” took place at the International Conference Centre. The Joint Institute was among the event’s organizers.

The centre’s employees received a patent for a tangential filtration device. The main feature of the development is the ability to use it several times for various research purposes, including micro, ultra, and diafiltration. The device will find applications in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and diagnostics.

From 23 to 27 April, the last stage of the first multisensory dsgn sense olympiad took place in Dubna. 118 high-schoolers from 59 cities participated in the finals. The event was aimed at the creation of graphics, objects, interfaces, and services using all human senses: sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste.

The programme for region’s teachers is organized by JINR in cooperation with Southern Federal University and Northern (Arctic) Federal University. It is expected that the successful experience of the school will be scaled up to other JINR Member States in the future.

The children’s popular science event was organized on 18 April at the JINR Mir Cultural Centre. More than 200 children participated in workshops, learned about robotics, and competed in the Intellectual Marathon.

Visitors are welcome to tour The ArteFacts of Francisco Infante exhibition presenting works by one of the most famous contemporary artists and a pioneer of kinetic art. Details, schedule, registration, and admission fees are available on the website.

The ceremony took place in Santa Monica on 18 April. The award in fundamental physics was given to the Muon g-2 Collaboration, including DLNP employees, for measuring the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon.

The JINR Telegram Channel shared another word from the world of science. This week’s post, dedicated to the International DNA Day, presents a molecule that stores genetic information.

A leading VBLHEP JINR researcher, Candidate of Physics and Mathematics Sergey Merts became a guest of the popular science project of RBC Radio. Particle accelerators, difference between a collider and other facilities, and areas using accelerator physics developments are among the topics of the discussion.

The JINR Telegram channel shared archival photos of the Institute. Take a look at a mechanic Sharif Shamsutdinov inspecting internal scintillation detectors of the target chamber at the Pion Facility at DLNP.

JINR Multifunctional Information and Computing Complex Chief Engineer Alexey Vorontsov became the guest of the new episode of the True Engineer podcast. Learn why he chose IT and what makes science a more interesting career that business.

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

We invite you to watch recordings of “Magnetic measurements of superconducting magnets of the NICA Collider”¹ by Dmitry Zolotykh, “Direct liquid cooling at facilities of the Russian Federation”² webinar, and “Intrinsic energy resolution of the scintillation signal in liquid argon” ³ by Olga Lychagina.

A new issue of the Weekly JINR Newspaper, #18, has been published. Please note that you can read an English version on the JINR Newspaper’s website.
