📢 You Are Invited to the D.A.R. Continuum – Conference on Data, AI, Automation & Robotisation!

On 29 April 2026, the CIIRC CTU will host the D.A.R. Continuum conference in Prague, a one-day interdisciplinary event exploring the evolving relationship between open & FAIR data, artificial intelligence, automation, and robotisation.

How are data infrastructures transforming research practices?
What happens when AI systems become integral to scientific discovery?
How should responsibility and governance evolve alongside autonomous systems?

D.A.R. Continuum brings together researchers, engineers, industry representatives, policymakers, and funding stakeholders to discuss these questions across disciplines.

🗓 29 April 2026 📍 Prague 🎤 Keynotes | Panels | Discussions | Networking

👉 Registration is open:

In cooperation with the Czech Academy of Sciences, the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of Charles University has put into operation the most powerful 🔹 helium liquefier 🔹 in the Czech Republic for scientific use. With an output of 57 litres of liquid helium per hour, it can liquefy up to 70,000 m³ of gaseous helium annually. Scientists will also use the facility to reliquefy and recycle this noble gas from laboratories.

Researchers from Matfyz published a study in the journal 🔹 Nature Communications 🔹 describing a significant experimental breakthrough. Based on their measurements, it is now possible to distinguish between left- and right-handed magnetic waves in a newly identified class of magnetic materials, so-called altermagnets, using X-rays.

Big success for Matfyz! 🎉
At Sunday’s Neuron Prize ceremony, our scientists received four awards in total.

Heartfelt congratulations to mathematician Erin Claire Carson, physicist Michal Vališek and theoretical computer scientist Václav Rozhoň. This trio of young Matfyz researchers accepted their prestigious prizes at the Prague Planetarium, where the Neuron Foundation honours top Czech scientists every year.

A special prize for science popularization was also awarded to our astrophysicist Jiří Grygar. 👏

Not all earthquakes make the headlines, but even the small ones can reveal big secrets about what is happening beneath our feet. 📈📉

In a new study published in Nature Communications, researchers from Matfyz and Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) present a new method to study weak earthquakes, offering a window into the fine-scale physical processes that govern tectonic ruptures.

“Mathematics in Bonn is world-renowned. It is one of the best opportunities that Europe has to offer in the field of mathematics,” says Filip Filipi, a graduate of Matfyz, who has been studying for a doctoral degree at the University of Bonn in Germany in the field of combinatorics since September 2025. 🧮

Securing a position abroad is not always easy, as he himself confirms. His path to top-level research was supported not only by long-term preparation and strong backing from Matfyz lecturers, but also by a great deal of determination and a willingness to make compromises.

If you are also considering a career in research, start your journey with us! The application deadline for both Master’s and Bachelor’s degree programmes is 30 April 2026. 🗓️

🟩 Putting effort into a thesis can surely pay off. A work by Jan Borecký, our Computer Science student, entitled Audio-Based Navigation for Visually Impaired Play in Open-World Games, was awarded the Matfyz Dean’s Award in a category of Computer Science for its innovation and contribution.

🟩 Its quality lies both in ex*****on and social inclusion, as Borecký’s thesis offers a way to make open-world games accessible to visually impaired people. He used sound as a source of information that provides players with spatial data, enabling them to navigate accordingly. An experimental playtest he designed proved that sound-based navigation can be effective even in complex environments and enables virtual interaction between sighted and visually impaired players in a shared world.

👏 Congratulations!

Tymofii Reizin was born in Ukraine and, if it were not for the war, everything might have been different. When considering university options, Tymofii heard about Matfyz from a friend and moved to the Czech Republic to study computer science. After graduating, he was accepted to the University of Cambridge. 💻🎓

In our interview, Tymofii reveals what Matfyz gave him, what it is like to study and do research in several different countries, and even what makes a good programming problem. 🌍

Quo Vadis, the Spin Pole of Venus? 🪐

🔹 Planetary bodies not only rotate around their axes, they can also slowly change their orientation in space. What is now near the equator may gradually shift toward mid-latitudes and vice versa, though such changes are hard to notice, as planetary reorientation takes tens of millions of years.

🔸This process, known as true polar wander, the movement of a planet’s rotational pole relative to its surface, can be triggered by the formation of large mountain ranges, glaciation, or mantle convection.

🌀 A new state-of-the-art experimental platform for generating and studying twisted light—light carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM)—has been successfully developed at Matfyz. The system was designed and realized by Dr. Rahul Kesarwani as part of his MSCA-CZ Fellowship.

🧊 This unique setup enables the precise creation, manipulation, and detection of OAM beams and integrates these capabilities with ultra-low temperatures (down to 2 K) and high magnetic fields (up to 14 T). Such conditions allow researchers to probe fundamental light–matter interactions that are inaccessible using conventional optical systems.
