15 Oct 2024 Student physics lectures 2024 This year's F9878 Student Physics Seminar again offered students insight into how physics works here in Brno, what research are being done, how to choose an undergraduate or graduate thesis, what courses to take, how to travel during the studies, and many other useful things.
9 Oct 2024 Looking back at Researcher's Night 2024 Transformation was the theme of this year's Night of Scientists, held on 27 September. Around 1,200 visitors came to the premises even in the bad weather. Animators from all three physics departments offered an exciting program about physics for all ages.
12 Sep 2024 Physics at the Festival of Science 2024 The Festival of Science 2024 was held at the Brno Exhibition Centre from Friday 6 September to Sunday 8 September 2024. Around 10,000 visitors had the opportunity to peek into the attractive world of science, technology, and history. All three physics department of Masaryk University presented their program to the visitors. The event was organized by the Brno Observatory and Planetarium with the support of the Statutory City of Brno and the South Moravian Region.

14 Aug 2024 Experiments on composites materials in Stuttgart Dana Skácelová and Richard Krumpolec were invited to joint experiments in Stuttgart, Germany. The scientists worked on different ways and methods of preparing composite materials used not only in the construction industry. Now the prepared materials are undergoing testing.
8 Aug 2024 David Holec and Ganesh Nayak visit Dr. Ganesh Nayak from Aachen, Germany, and Assoc. Prof. David Holec from Leoben, Austria, are visiting the research group Deposition of Thin Films and Nanostructures. Together with the PVDLab computational team, they are working on two projects.
7 Aug 2024 Collaboration with Şişecam Science, Technology and Design Center Richard Krumpolec established a new collaboration with Şişecam, one of the largest producer of flat glass in Europe. The scientists tested the potential of plasma surface treatment on bond strength behavior of an adhesively bonded glass-polymer interface directly at Şişecam Science, Technology, and Design Center.
1 Aug 2024 The research of antiferromagnets at Masaryk University can be a milestone in modern experimental condensed matter physics Physicists from Masaryk University observed the fluctuating behavior of magnetic moments, which was predicted by a theory from the sixties of the last century. They contributed to a hot debate in condensed matter physics. Their experiments were performed with samples fabricated in the scientific facility CEITEC Nano. They investigated the properties of these samples in a unique spectrometer at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland. They published the results of their research in the scientific journal Nature Communications.
30 Jul 2024 Collaboration with Tokyo Metropolitan University Dr. Peter Klein from CEPLANT and the Department of Plasma Physics and Technology traveled to Japan to conduct joint experiments focused on the diagnostics of HiPIMS processes together with Assoc. Prof. Tetsuhide Shimizu and his team at Tokyo Metropolitan University.
26 Jul 2024 CaviPlasma – the subject of a large number of new projects New applications of CaviPlasma technology and, in general, of low-temperature atmospheric plasmas are the subject of six new projects by scientists from the Applied Plasma Chemistry research group of the Department of Plasma Physics and Technology.
18 Jul 2024 26th ESCAMPIG 2024 The 26th ESCAMPIG conference on the physics of ionized gases organized by the Department of Plasma Physics and Technology, CEPLANT center, and the Union of Czech Mathematicians and Physicists was successfully held at the FIT BUT in Božetěchova in Brno. 191 participants from 26 countries from all over the world attended the conference.
15 Jul 2024 CEPLANT-UP project launch From 1 July 2024, the project No. CZ.02.01.01/00/23_015/0008177 is being implemented within the CEPLANT large research infrastructure. CEPLANT-UP is co-financed by the European Union from the Programme Johannes Amos Comenius.
10 Jul 2024 The GRBBeta satellite is heading to space. Data from the satellite will be analysed by physicists from Masaryk University Signals from the GRBBeta CubeSat, which will be launched by the European Space Agency's Ariane 6 rocket, will also be closely monitored by astrophysicists from Masaryk University. They have been instrumental in the preparation of the project and will analyse data from the gamma-ray burst detector on board of the satellite. The scientists will also test the smallest astrophysical camera in space, LuvCAM, which is sensitive to the ultraviolet part of the spectrum. The Ariane 6 rocket is scheduled to launch from Kourou in French Guiana on Tuesday 9 July 2024 between 20:00 and 23:00 CEST.
