Eight teams, six months of preparation, three days of physics competitions. The winners of this year’s 39th Young Physicists’ Tournament have been announced.
In recent weeks, CERN has delivered two results worth paying attention to. The LHCb experiment discovered a long-sought particle. The BASE experiment, for the first time in history, transported antiprotons outside the laboratory.
As every year, we're holding our physics photography competition, open to anyone who wants to capture the world. The competition is open in two categories, and the best photos will be awarded at a ceremony in autumn 2026.
On Czech Wikipedia today, you will find over 133,000 articles about men and only 30,000 about women. In March, FZU joined forces with Wikimedia Czech Republic to do something about it, co-organising an editathon on 24 March focused on women in science.
What happens when a particle from deep space hits the Earth's atmosphere? And how do scientists actually find out? A group of secondary school students explored these questions at a full-day seminar on astroparticle physics.
Ing. Vladimír Nekvasil, DrSc. his entire life to condensed matter physics and, after 1989, became one of the key figures in building Czech science on new, free foundations. On 20 April, he would have turned 82.
Jakub Bulička from the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences has taken third place in the best diploma thesis category of the Werner von Siemens Award - one of the most prestigious prizes for student research in the Czech Republic.
The Einstein Telescope is a European scientific project of extraordinary scope, aimed at building a next-generation gravitational wave detector capable of detecting minute distortions in spacetime itself with unprecedented sensitivity.
How can we better detect invisible fingerprints, even on problematic surfaces? This is precisely the focus of the project “Increasing the Effectiveness of Methods for Visualizing Latent Fingerprints”, which involves the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, the University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague, and the Forensic Institute of the Czech Police.
