Pri príležitosti 65. výročia položenia základov Elektrotechnického ústavu SAV (ElÚ SAV) sa v Kongresovom centre v Smoleniciach konalo v piatok, 6. apríla 2018 spoločenské stretnutie súčasných a bývalých zamestnancov ElÚ SAV a pozvaných hostí. Na podujatí vedenie a vedecká rada ústavu ocenili svojich významných vedeckých pracovníkov udelením Medaily ElÚ SAV Ivana Hlásnika. Ako prví si ocenenia prevzali doc. Ing. Peter Kordoš,…
Nanoscience and nanotechnology are interdisciplinary fields that bring together physicists, chemists, materials scientists, and engineers to meet the potential future challenges that humankind will face, including the search for renewable energies for sustainable development and new technologies for carbon capture and environmental protection. Among the current subjects in nanoscience and nanotechnology, nanomaterials are developing fast…
A new type of quantum spin liquid has been unveiled by an international team of physicists and chemists. The technique for making the material was developed by Maarit Karppinen and colleagues at Aalto University in Finland, the Brazilian Center for Research in Physics (CBPF), Germany’s Technical University of Braunschweig and Nagoya University in Japan. It could lead…
World renowned physicist Stephen Hawking has died at the age of 76. He died peacefully at his home in Cambridge in the early hours of Wednesday, his family said. The Briton was known for his work with black holes and relativity, and wrote several popular science books including A Brief History of Time. At the…
Quasiparticles called rotons have been seen for the first time in a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) of ultracold atoms. The research was done by physicists in Austria, Germany and Italy and could lead to new insights into superfluids and supersolids. Almost 80 years ago, the Soviet physicist and Nobel laureate Lev Landau developed the mathematical underpinnings of superfluid…
Richard Taylor, the Canadian particle physicist who shared the 1990 Nobel Prize for Physics, has died at the age of 88. Taylor spent most of his professional life at Stanford University and the nearby SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in California, where he did pioneering experiments that provided the first experimental evidence that protons and neutrons are made of quarks. Taylor…
Van der Waals (vdW) solids have attracted great attention ever since the discovery of graphene, with the essential feature being the weak chemical bonding across the vdW gap. The nature of these weak interactions is decisive for many extraordinary properties, but it is a strong challenge for current theory to accurately model long-range electron correlations….
