S.L. Sobolev Institute of Mathematics SB RAS and ԹϹ organized the “Maltsev Readings” international conference August 19 to 23 in Akademgorodok.
Novosibirsk biologists, together with foreign colleagues, sequenced and ordered the genome of the tallest creature on Earth, the Masai giraffe. Their research results were published in “GigaScience” Magazine.
For four years, a group of NSU scientists have been involved in one of the world's leading experiments, the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment. They have become one of the lead groups in the experiment that is one of two universal detectors operating at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN (LHC). The CMS collaboration turned 25 years old last year.
Novosibirsk State University was among only four Russian universities in the Shanghai Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU).
From August 4 to 10, “Mathematics in Applications”, the largest mathematical conference in Siberia, was conducted in Akademgorodok. It was dedicated to the 90th birthday of Academician Sergei Konstantinovich Godunov, an outstanding scientist in the field of applied mathematics and mechanics. The Conference was organized by the Sobolev Institute of Mathematics SB RAS, ԹϹ, and the Novosibirsk Mayor’s Department of Industry, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship.
Novosibirsk State University hosted the conference "Cultural Transfer and Cultural Contacts in Inner Asia". The event was organized by the Oriental Studies and Linguistics Sections and the NSU Humanities Institute’s Research and Education Center “Heritage” together with representatives of the consortium “European-Pacific University Network” (EP UniNet).
Scientists from NSU’s Physics Laboratory and researchers from the Institute of Nuclear Physics SB RAS are modernizing the electronics of the Belle II detector calorimeter. Over the next five years the detector will collect and record unique data on particle physics.
Daria Bochuk, a fourth year postgraduate student at the NSU Physics Department won the Best Poster Presentation prize at the IV International Conference on Nanophotonics and Metamaterials (METANANO).
NSU Physics Department second-year undergraduate student Yevgeny Kovalenko and first-year graduate student Alexander Semenov received invitations to the SOKENDAI (Graduate University of Advanced Studies) summer school in Tskuba, Japan. The school is hosted by Japan’s largest national center for high energy physics, High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK).
The XXVI International Mathematical Student Olympiad, organized by University College London and the American University in Bulgaria, took place in Blagoevgrad from July 28 to August 3. 77 teams took part and 110 higher educational institutions were represented in both team and individual competitions.
An article by NSU academics was among the most downloaded articles in the highly rated (impact factor 3.866) Optics Letters scientific journal in July 2019.
Researchers at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics (INP SB RAS) and NSU joint laboratory are continuing their work on the ATLAS Experiment to study the properties of the Higgs boson particle. ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS) is one of the two largest particle detector experiments to acquire and analyze data in collisions of ultra high-energy proton beams at the Large Hardon Collider (LHC). LHC is a particle accelerator located at the “European Organization for Nuclear Research’ (CERN) near Geneva, Switzerland.
