The mission of the conference held from 7 to 10 October 2008 was two-fold. The first was to focus on these women from all over the world who discussed their own experiences, both good and bad. The participants promoted their own individual research, as well as established contact with international colleagues in an effort to have greater access to funding for continuing their research. The second aspect of the conference directly addressed a problem of the low numbers of women entering the field of physics. Delegates discussed efforts to promote women in physics in their own country as well as promoting women in physics on the international scale. and Raji Heyrovska, Jarmila Kodymova, Vera Hamplova.
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 first beam in the Large Hadron Collider at CERN was successfully steered around the full 27 kilometers of the world´s most powerful particle accelerator on September 10. This historic event marks a key moment in the transition from over two decades of preparation to a new era of scientific discovery. and Jiří Niederle.
This international conference took place in Prague on 25-30 July, 2011. Its main goal was to contribute to uncovering possible phenomenological ("quantum thermodynamic") laws governing the behavior of mesoscopic systems and also to provide better understanding and insight into recent problems of the foundations, relying on theoretical and experimental methods of condensed matter physics and quantum optics. Special attention was given to the dynamics of mesoscopic open systems and their relevance to problems of measurement of non-equilibrium quantum systems, thermal and quantum fluctuations, dissipation, noise, physics of quantum information and biological systems, in terms of both theory and experiment. Additional topics included biophysics, gravitation and cosmology. FQMT'11 was a follow-up to two previous conferences held in Prague 2004 and 2008. and Václav Špička.
Mikrosvět elementárních částic, atomů a procesů odehrávajících se mezi nimi je plný podivností. Částice může projít naráz dvěma různými štěrbinami, fotony mohou být navzájem provázané na obrovské vzdálenosti, kočka (alespoň ona pověstná Schrödingerova) může být zároveň živá i mrtvá... Může pozoruhodný kvantový svqt dovolit i stav, kdy by nějaká látka bya sočasně pevná a supratekutá? A mohou kvantové supratekuté systémy pomoci osvětlit jeden z posledních nevyřešených problémů klasické fyziky - turoblenci? Vědci, včetně českých, intenzivné hledají odpovědi. and Jana Olivová.
