Read more ...Лаборатория ядерных проблем вместе со всем институтом готовилась к 65-летнему юбилею ОИЯИ. Сложно поверить, что славные открытия прошлого века и первые базовые установки института были сделаны и собраны без мощных компьютеров, постоянной мобильной связи и станков с программным управлением. А как?

Поговорим об этом в нашей новой пятничной рубрике "XX век. Повседневная жизнь сотрудника ОИЯИ". Документально-материальной основой рубрики станут артефакты мемориального музея-кабинета Бруно Понтекорво, который находится в главном здании Лаборатории ядерных проблем ОИЯИ. Сейчас экспонаты музея систематизируются и дополняются, музей оснащается мультимедийным оборудованием и скоро будет доступен для сотрудников и посетителей института. ⠀ В поисках предметов и оборудования двадцатого века мы пройдемся по цехам и кабинетам Лаборатории ядерных проблем и попробуем с их помощью оживить прошлое через страницы наших соцсетей.

Arguments of e-book readers and adherents of good old paper books are gone. The war between “Little-Endians” and “Big-Endians” wasn’t declared. Someone reads only digital books, another one accepts only paper books, a third one buys both—anyway, a book is something more, an aesthetic pleasure.

In our latest Friday column issue “The 20th century. Everyday life of a researcher” we wrote about wall newspapers at JINR laboratories. Our readers told us that DLNP also had its own wall newspaper Luch (Ray). One of its editors was Georgy Aleksandrovich Shelkov. Here is his story.

And again, writing this column, we collaborate with the JINR Museum of Science and Technology. Since we want to tell you about the ways of calculation in science of the 20th century.
