A medal received a Slovak experimental scientist in the field of elementary particles, doc Brunckov. The second medal went to the department of physical chemistry at Munich University. Other honoured fields were the geophysics, philosophy or literature science.
Has significantly contributed to clarifying the mechanism of superconductivity in the boron-doped diamond. He also reopened the problem of relativistic transformation of temperature, which plays a decisive role in the relativistic physics of thermal phenomena and in cosmology.
The Lumina Quaeruntur Premium seeks to fill the gap between junior grants and the programs intended for established scientists. The Academy of Sciences presented the programme and its first six laureates during a ceremony held at Národní třída, Prague. One of the laureates is RNDr. Hana Lísalová, Ph.D. from the Institute of Physics of the CAS.
Scientists from the Institute of Physics have achieved tremendous success in all listed categories, including the new EXPRO program to support excellence in basic research
Pavla Štenclová, Ph.D., received the Austin Barnes´ Prize for the best poster. The presented results were obtained during the research stay at the University of Ulm.
