NTU «KhPI» organized a lecture by Takaaki Kajita, Laureate of the Nobel Prize in Physics, a famous Japanese physicist and cosmic neutrino researcher. It was dedicated to the study of the Universe using neutrinos and gravitational waves. The event, held online, brought together nearly 300 scientists from Ukraine, Germany, Hungary, Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, and Belgium. The lecture was one of the many festive events held at Kharkiv Polytechnic on the Science Day of Ukraine.

Professor Kajita devoted his report to the exploring of neutrinos, a stable electric neutral elementary particle whose mass is close to zero. He spoke about gravitational waves, where they come from, what they are associated with, and how to measure them. The Nobel laureate believes that neutrinos are a kind of key to a better understanding of elementary particles and the Universe. In the future, they will help scientists make many fundamental discoveries.

Takaaki Kajita shared his own experience of research at the Kamiokande and Super-Kamiokande detectors at the Kamioka Observatory in central Japan. The scientist noted that the Super-Kamiokande, which is currently under construction, will become the next generation neutrino detector. The experiment is scheduled to take place in 2027. This is an international project that brings together about 600 scientists and specialists from 22 countries.

It should be noted that Professor Takaaki Kajita is the head of the KAGRA project, which aims to explore gravitational wave astronomy. This program was launched in 2010 and aims to improve scientific results.

At the end of the event, the scientist wished all Ukrainians a speedy peace in the country and the opportunity to work together in various scientific researches.

The lecture caused a lively discussion among leading and young scientists, students and postgraduate students of Kharkiv Polytechnic.

Professor Kajita is one of 194 Laureates of the Nobel Prize who in 2022 expressed their support for the Ukrainian people and a free, independent Ukraine after the beginning of russia’s war against our country. Takaaki Kajita is also a signatory to the letter against the regime of Vladimir Putin, in which he, along with other leading figures in science, economics and literature, made an appeal to the international community to increase support for Ukraine in its opposition to russian aggression.

NTU “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute” organized XXX Anniversary International Scientific Hands-on Conference “Information Technologies: Science, Engineering, Technology, Education and Health (MicroCAD-2022)”. It was held online throughout the period of October 19-21. The participants were more than two thousand scientists, academics and experts from Ukraine and from ten other countries including Hungary, Germany, Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, Greece, Serbia, Kazakhstan, Georgia and Turkmenistan.  Leading speakers at the Conference were Nobel laureate in Physics, Professor of the Princeton University Frederick Duncan Michael Haldane. The participants of the Conference worked in twelve broad sections ranging from power engineering, electronics and international business to national security.

The plenary session was opened by Prof. Yevgen Sokol, Rector of NTU “KhPI” and Corresponding Member of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and he delivered a report on “The Science and Education as a Basis for the Innovative Development of the State”. He stressed an important role of the Kharkiv Polytechnic and paid attention to the contributions made by the students, teachers and scientists to develop innovative products and approaches to the education.

Great honor was given to MicroCAD -2022 by the Nobel Prize winner in Physics and the Oliver Buckley Award winner, Professor of the Princeton University, member of the Royal Scientific Society (Great Britain), and the expert in the theory of condensed media Frederick Duncan Michael Haldane that spoke at the plenary session. The scientist congratulated the participants of the Conference and noted that the science continues to develop in Ukraine in spite of such hard times.

The Haldane’s speech was dedicated to the physical basics of the creation of the quantum computer «The Hope for a «Topologically-Protected Quantum Computer». The scientist spoke about the results obtained during a complicated theoretical research in the field of quantum mechanics. His report described a stepwise change in the electrical resistance in the thin layers of the material with an increase in the induction of applied magnetic field. The main physical ideas of his famous theory of one-dimensional spin chains and the theory of fractional quantum Hall effects became clear even to non-experts. In addition, the physicist stressed that the science must develop even at such hard times and he called young Ukrainian scientists to continue their search and research. “To achieve great results a scientist must be devoted to the science and have a strong character. Believe that you are exploring something wonderful, stick to your idea and fight for it”, said Prof. Frederick Duncan Michael Haldane.

Professor from the USA pledged his support to our country and Kharkiv as one of its powerful scientific centers. He expressed his gratitude to Ukrainian scientists that make a weighty contribution to the future of the country and the world on the whole. Let’s note that Prof. Frederick Duncan Michael Haldane was among the 200 Nobel laureates that signed the open “Letter 200” to support Ukraine.

Oleg Kuprygin, the chairman of the Supervisory Board of the partner of NTU KhPI, i.e. PJSC “TURBOGAS” that is one of the leading industrial companies in Ukraine also took the floor at the plenary session of MicroCAD-2022. He spoke about the combination of cutting-edge achievements in science and industry technologies. In addition, the reports were also delivered by the founder of the scientific avenue “Electrochemical Design, Diagnostics and Prediction of the Properties of Functional Coatings”, a winner of the National Award of Ukraine named after Borys Platon, the academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Higher School of Ukraine, head of the Department for Physical Chemistry of NTU “KhPI, Doctor of engineering sciences,  Professor Nikolay Sakhnenko and also Olena Avdieieva, a famous young scientist in the field of turbine construction, a winner of the award of the President of Ukraine for young scientists, PhD in engineering sciences, associate professor of the Department for Turbine Construction at NTU “KhPI”.

On the whole, the three-day Conference was presented by 12 sections, in particular power engineering, electronics and electromechanics, topical issues of mechanical engineering and transport; computer simulation, applied physics and mathematics, chemical technologies and engineering; economics, management and international business, medical sciences; international engineering education; social-&-liberal technologies; computer sciences and information technologies; near-Earth space; radio physics and ionosphere; electromagnetic immunity, military sciences and  national security.

The participants were more than 2200 scientists, academics and experts. These are representatives of the twelve regions in Ukraine and ten foreign countries including Hungary, Germany, Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, Greece, Serbia, Kazakhstan, Georgia and Turkmenistan.

Over 50 years, the representatives of the world-famous School for Physical Thin-Film Material Science named after Lev Palatnik have been doing an intensive research at the Kharkiv Polytechnic to create thin-film instrument structures for the micro- and nanoelectronics. Therefore, these scientists were extremely interested in listening to the report of the world-class physicist Frederick Duncan Michael Haldane whose scientific papers were studied by them” — noted Gennady Khrypunov, pro-rector of NTU “KhPI”.

“I would like to express my gratitude to the organizers of the Conference. Together we look to the future and move forward!”, stressed Oleg Kuprygin, the chairman of the Supervisory Board of the PJSC “TURBOGAS”.
