From Chișinău to Bucharest and all the way to Dublin, research reminds us once again that it knows no borders — especially when you’re too young to see them.

Four students, three universities, yet convergent paths that brought them to IFIN-HH for the summer trainning programme in our department. Perhaps that is one of the most beautiful things about science: before asking where we come from, it asks where we want to go.

-The Pentagon of Physics Faculties 2026 has successfully concluded!

We are incredibly happy to share that five of the students who participated are from our very own department. We are so proud of your hard work, dedication, and the research you presented!

This national student conference, held from July 26 to July 30 at the Magurele Research and Development Platform, brought together undergraduate, master's, and PhD physics students from across Romania (Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Iasi, Timisoara, and Craiova/Oradea). The project gives early-career scientists the chance to connect with recent results in modern physics, present their thesis work, and network with peers nationwide.

One of the highlights of the week was welcoming all the conference participants to our labs at IFIN-HH. During their visit to the 3 MV Tandetron, the students learned all about the fascinating practical applications of accelerated ion beams.

A huge thank you to the organizers who made this free event possible: The Physics Students' Association of the University of Bucharest (ASF-UB - Asociația Studenților Fizicieni - Universitatea din București ) and Facultatea de Fizica, Universitatea din Bucuresti at the Universitatea din București.

Midterm reports for our Core Project PN 23 21 02 01 - Ion Beams for Science, Education and Technology

Daniela Pascal spoke on behalf of the AMS Team about new methodological developments of 10Be measurements in the context of paleoclimatics, while Udrescu & Andrei Bac presented our new website (https://dfna.nipne.ro/draft/) and a synchrotron mock-up to be used by the pupils in their classroom.
The main conclusions (published by EduPedu https://cdn.edupedu.ro/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Cercetarea-romaneasca-are-nevoie-de-o-voce-Memorandum-CNCS-2026.pdf) from the very first Romanian Conference for Science Communication (https://www.uvt.ro/blog/prima-conferinta-nationala-de-comunicare-a-stiintei-un-pas-important-pentru-cresterea-vizibilitatii-cercetarii-romanesti-11-12-iunie-2026/) were also discussed and a clear message emerged: SCIENCE NEEDS A MORE POWERFUL VOICE TO BE HEARD!

What happened thousands of years ago when the Earth entered its last recorded Ice Age? What were the exact stages, and how fast did they occur? Most importantly, how can this ancient history help us tackle today’s climate change challenges?

These are the questions driving the work of our colleague Daniela Pascal. Her quest for answers has taken her from studying Romanian glaciers all the way to the ends of the Earth!

As part of a joint collaboration lead by scientists from Bulgarian Antarctic Institute, Daniela traveled to Livingston Island in Antarctica to collect critical environmental samples for our RoAMS lab here at IFIN-HH. 🇦🇶🇷🇴🇧🇬

Today, July 1st, we are proud to mark an important milestone in this international collaboration! Daniela was honored to present at the Symposium on Scientific Research in Antarctica, hosted by the GeoEcoMar Institute in Constanța. She shared the latest updates on her and the RoAMS team's work: reconstructing the glacial history of Livingston Island using in situ cosmogenic ¹⁰Be exposure dating.

Last Friday on June 5th, we opened our doors at IFIN-HH for an Open Day event at the 3 MV Tandetron Accelerator. Ambitious Physics students joined our Applied Nuclear Physics Department (DFNA) team for a behind-the-scenes look at accelerated ion beams. From discussing radiation effects on electronics to witnessing cutting-edge research setups, the energy was very positive!

Thank you to everyone who visited. Ready to shape the future of science with us?

We had a great time sharing our work that was supported by a grant of the Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digitization, CCCDI-UEFISCDI, project number PN-IV-P7-7.1-PED-2024-2029,53PED, within PNCDI IV. The National Research Program “Nucleu”, Project code PN 23210201/2023 and IOSIN are also acknowledged.

”Another one bites the dust... ”, while Queen might have had a different meaning in mind, in this case it could be regarded as conquering the journey of a doctorate.

Please join us in sending a massive congratulations to Burghelea George-Bogdan for successfully defending his PhD thesis.
His work focused on air pollution in Romania, considering a data set from 2020. Even now we can remember about that unbelievably complicated and challenging year for the entire planet. Navigating global uncertainty, lockdowns, and unprecedented stress while conducting rigorous scientific research takes immense resilience, grit, and dedication.

We are incredibly proud of your hard work and perseverance. 🥰
