Entropy matters! Czech research advances materials development

A team of scientists from the Czech Academy of Sciences and Faculty of Science at Masaryk University has made a major contribution to research into the accumulation of impurities at the interface between crystals, a phenomenon having caused e.g. a series of accidents at nuclear power stations in the UK in the 1960s. The study, published in the prestigious journal Progress in Materials Science, furthers the development of more resistant alloys or new technological processes for their production.

Astrophysicists from Masaryk University contributed to research that first revealed intergalactic wind

Astrophysicists from Masaryk University contributed to research published in the journal Nature that first revealed intergalactic wind. Using the cutting-edge Resolve spectrometer onboard the Japanese XRISM satellite, they analysed the X-ray spectrum of the centre of the Centaurus cluster of galaxies. The research showed that the galaxy NGC4696 is exposed to winds with velocities ranging from 130 to 310 km/s, which prevent the cooling of gas and the formation of stars. This discovery brings new insights into the weather and the role of black holes in galactic atmospheres.

QCEED project will try to break barriers in quantum photonic computation

QCEED is a new EIC Pathfinder project that targets quantum dot coupling engineering to improve the current quantum computers. Dr. Petr Klenovský from the Department of Condensed Matter Physics will work on this new project with five other European partners.
