On January 23, the 2nd Light for Ukraine Workshop "Towards Nano and Micro X-ray Spectroscopy Applications” held at the SOLARIS synchrotron was successfully completed.
The workshop focused on the concept of the planned Ukrainian synchrotron beamline at SOLARIS and gathered input from beamline scientists from other synchrotron facilities regarding research opportunities and scientific goals in nano and micro X-ray spectroscopy. Additionally, Ukrainian researchers presented on areas of scientific interest. Recordings of all presentations are available on YouTube.

Neuropharmacology2024Congratulations to Tetyana Pivneva and Nana Voitenko, the professors of the Department of Biomedicine and Neurosciences, on the publication of their new paper "Mitochondrial malfunction mediates impaired cholinergic Ca2+ signalling and submandibular salivary gland dysfunction in diabetes" in Neuropharmacology

Their findings provide insights into the potential targeting of malfunctioning mitochondria for the treatment of diabetic xerostomia as an alternative strategy to the existing pharmacotherapeutic approaches. This article is part of the Special Issue on "Ukrainian Neuroscience". The paper is with open access: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropharm.2023.109789.

KAU YouTube pageThis semester, two courses of the Department of Applied Physics and Nanomaterials were taught in English. Namely, "Computational Modeling of Electronic Properties of Materials" by Oleh Feia and "Introduction to machine learning" by Vitaliy Tymchyshyn and Volodymyr Bezguba. Recordings of all lectures are available on the KAU YouTube page.

 

LEAPS EP 06On November 21, 2023, the League of European Accelerator-based Photon Sources (LEAPS) was hosted at the European Parliament in Strasbourg. This exclusive high-level event was attended by members of the LEAPS General Assembly, Coordination Board, and Working Groups, along with a select group of distinguished guests representing key stakeholders of LEAPS. Alexander Kordyuk presented the National Academy of Ukraine, Kyiv Academic University, and the newly established Ukrainian Association of Synchrotron Users. All LEAPS members expressed strong solidarity with Ukraine and their commitment to supporting Ukrainian researchers in accelerator-based research. Specifically, the project for the Ukrainian beamline at the SOLARIS synchrotron was endorsed, and the Light for Ukraine synchrotron workshop at SOLARIS, along with Ukraine's admission to the European Synchrotron and Free Electron Laser User Organisation (ESUO) were announced.

L4U2We are pleased to announce the upcoming “Light for Ukraine – synchrotron workshop at SOLARIS towards Nano and micro X-ray spectroscopy applications”, to be held on January 23rd, 2024 as an online event.

The conference will be held online via the ZOOM platform. We cordially invite you to join the meeting.
