In the term of 14th - 17th July 2025 the UAAT-ICU Workshop: International Taiwan–Czech Event on Research, Innovation, and Education takes place in Prague, Czech Republic. This workshop marks significant moment in the growing scientific collaboration between the Czech Republic and…
The annual Scientific Members Meeting of the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL; Grenoble, France) took place in Paris on 19th June 2025. The main topics of the agenda included recent scientific and technical developments at the ILL, covering the advancement of experimental…
Researchers from the groups of Klára Uhlířová and Tim Verhagen have become the first to discover moiré ferroelectricity in single crystals of chalcogenides with incommensurate crystal structures. The phenomenon was first identified during the work on a bachelor thesis, though…
Last Saturday, there was a Garden party organized by our group head Ross Colman for (not only) our department colleagues in Tuchotice yard. This already traditional meeting complements our friendly collective relationship on more informal basis and brings more open…
In last months we have succeeded in implementation of a new experimental method - measurement of structural parameters upon application of high pressure. This method uses the commercially bought diamond anvil pressure cell (DAC) from Almax easyLab bv company in…
The Bernard Bolzano Endowment Fund Prize was awarded to Michal Vališka on March 12, 2025, for his outstanding contributions in research of unconventional superconductor UTe₂. This recognition follows the publication of key findings in PNAS, Nature Communications, and other high-impact…
On Monday 27th January 2025, our PhD student Daniel Staško successfully defended his doctoral thesis, completing his study cascade at our department and faculty. His research path began in 2017 within the student faculty project and was followed by his…
A recent ACS Nano publication (featured on a cover) shows how assemblies of radical organic molecules on a superconducting surface can host distinct quantum states. The study demonstrates that varying molecular distance and orientation alters magnetic coupling, inducing transitions between…
Our recent paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), titled “Superconducting critical temperature elevated by intense magnetic fields,” explores how intense magnetic fields influence superconductivity in unconventional systems, shedding new light on the physics of…
Our department isn’t focused solely on basic research – we’re also dedicated to advanced automation that pushes the boundaries of science. The Charles Automata team has prepared an original Christmas video for you, in which a robot precisely arranges hundreds…
