Přesné měření je nezbytné pro úspěšné stavební práce i kontrolu stability objektů, to věděli i naši předkové. Dnes existují velmi citlivé přístroje, které odhalí sebemenší pohyby svahů, mostů, hrází či vysilačů a pomohou tak předejít katastrofě. S detailními postupy, jak moderní měřici technologii využít a analyzovat data, přišel tým výzkumníků z Ústavu teorie informace a automatizace AV ČR ve spolupráci s firmou Geodézie Ledeč nad Sázavou. and Leona Matušková, Stanislava Kyselová.
Když se Kosťa Novoselov chystal v Manchesteru v roce 2003 sloupnout obyčejnou lepicí páskou několik vrstviček z krystalu grafitu, zřejmě ještě netušil, že startuje novou éru v nanotechnologickém výzkumu - éru dvojrozměrných (2D) neboli jednovrstvých materiálů; a že za to bude o deset let později spolu s prof. Andre Geimem přebírat Nobelovu cenu za fyziku. Podařilo se mu totiž nečekané - izolovat jedinou vrstvu tvořenou atomy uhlíku uspořádaných do vrcholů pravidelných šestiúhelníků, tedy grafen. and Otakar Frank, Ladislav Kavan, Martin Kalbáč.
The DØ Experiment consists of a worldwide collaboration of scientists conducting research of the fundamental nature of matter. The experiment is located at the world´s premier high-energy accelerator, the Tevatron Collider, at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Batavia, Illinois, USA. The research is focused on precise studies of interactions of protons and antiprotons at the highest available energies. It involves and intense search for subatomic clues that reveal the character of the building blocks of the universe. and Alexander Kupčo, Miloš Lokajíček.
The European Academies Science Advisory Council was formed by the national science academies of EU Member States to enable them to collaborate with each other in providing advice to European policy-makers. It thus offers the means for the collective voice of European science to be heard. The EASAC covers all scientific and technical disciplines, and its experts are drawn from all coutries of the European Union. The most recent EASAC meeting was held in June 2008 in Prague. and Luděk Svoboda, Gabriela Adámková.
The first implementation phase of the ELI Beamlines project was concluded and the laser facility in Dolní Břežany was inaugurated on October 19, 2015 in the presence of many distinguished guests from the world of science and politics. The initial greetings were given by Czech and foreign guests, including the President of the Czech Academy of Sciences Jiří Drahoš, Director of the Institute of Physics Jan Řídký, the President of the Senate of the Czech Republic Milan Štěch, Archbishop of Prague Dominik cardinal Duka, Director General of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) Francesco Sette, Director General of the ELI-DC International Association Wolfgang Sandner, Chairman of the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructure John Womersley, French physicist and founder of the ELI project Gérard Mourou, Deputy director for science and technology in the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California Patricia Falcone. Guests were invited to see laser and experimental technologies directly in one of the laser halls. and Marina Hužvárová a Jana Olivová.
