🧬 First lab tour is happening today!

Get ready for an amazing visit to MIPT’s Research Center for Molecular Mechanisms of Aging and Age-Related Diseases β€” a place where science, health, and innovation come together.

🌟 What’s so cool about it?
This center focuses on some of the most cutting-edge questions in biology: from how proteins work and how cells age, to designing new medicines and using bioinformatics to unlock the secrets of life.

πŸ”¬ Inside, you’ll find labs working on:

πŸ”Ž High-res microscopy
πŸ’Š Protein structures and drug design
🧬 Molecular genetics and bioinformatics
πŸ–₯️ Advanced modeling and simulations

πŸ‘©β€πŸ”¬ Researchers here study Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, develop tools for diagnosing and treating age-related diseases, and even explore how to control heart and brain cells with light!

πŸ§ͺ Physics at the Heart of It All
The center is packed with physics! From studying molecular structures and X-ray scattering to advanced microscopy and computational modeling, physics is essential to understanding how cells work and how diseases develop. It’s proof that the skills you’re learning can be used to solve real, important problems in health and medicine.

πŸ“Œ See you in 20 minutes!

Channel name was changed to Β«ISPhO 2026. NewsΒ»
Dear participants and national team leaders,

We would like to inform you that this year’s International Science Physics Olympiad (ISPhO) will be held exclusively online from June 21 to June 30, 2026.

This decision was made in order to ensure as wide and safe access to participation for school students from different countries as possible, given the high probability of unforeseen logistical difficulties due to the current global situation.

This year, we believe it is particularly important to focus on the following:
- maintaining the tradition of international cooperation in the natural sciences;
- providing equal opportunities for talented school students regardless of their location;
- ensuring a high standard of organization and objectivity in the evaluation of results.
- creating a comfortable environment for you to demonstrate your knowledge and skills in physics.

The Olympiad will retain all its key elements: theoretical and experimental rounds, a unified scoring system, and awards for the winners.

The online experimental round will be entirely devoted to computer modeling and data processing. Participants will be provided with software that simulates the operation of scientific equipment.

Since the competition will be held exclusively online, participation is completely free of charge.

We invite teams from all countries to join ISPhO and show their skills in this international intellectual competition!

We ask the heads of national physics teams to send an email to ispho@phystech.edu to receive further instructions.

Stay tuned for updates on our channel!

Sincerely,
The ISPhO Organizing Committee

πŸ’Ž – Scientific Experience – πŸ’Ž

Hey, ISPhO squad! πŸ‘‹ 
Ever heard of Nobel Backstage? Bet you haven't... until now 😎 We're kickin’ off our new Scientific Experience series!
'Cause even geniuses have "wait, WHAT?" stories πŸ˜…

πŸ‘ Franck & Hertz (1925) – They thought they failed 😬

πŸ’₯ They sent electrons through mercury vapor and saw the current drop at 4.9 V. But their detector was literally a thumb‑sized tube with copper foil and a piece of glass. No fancy electronics.

πŸ€” When they saw the drop, they thought: β€œOur apparatus is broken.”
They almost didn’t publish.
Turns out β€” that drop was proof of Bohr’s atom! Nobel Prize oops. πŸ‘‰πŸ‘ˆ

πŸ§ͺ Moral β€” if your experiment gives weird repeating dips, don't panic. That might be quantization. ✨🌌
