ELI will become a new scientific infrastructure supporting research in the area of lasers, mainly oriented onto the investigation and applications of laser-matter interaction at the highest intensity level (more than six orders of magnitude higher than today's laser intensity). The ELI project, a collaboration of 13 European countries, will comprise three branches: Ultra High Field Science, Attosecond Laser Science, High Energy Beam Science. and Markéta Holubová.
A mobile exhibition, German Science Train, which is organized by the Max Planck Society as part of the Year of Science 2009, takes the public on a research voyage! The idea is to show different aspects of science with an eye to the future. In 12 converted train cars, visitors can dive into different subjects: from cosmology to particle physics, nanotechnology and brain research to applied and industrial research in production, agriculture, energy, environment and mobility. The exhibition is making stops throughout Germany until December. and Luděk Svoboda.
Přibližně 520 dní trvá let na Mars a zpět - 520 dní trvala simulace takového letu a bezmála stejnou dobu i příprava a vydání publikace Psychologického ústavu AV ČR „Mars-500: Fakta a postřehy ze simulovaného letu na rudou planetu“, která se tímto ojedinělým experimentem zabývá. and Marina Hužvárová.
