Unexpected Twist: Archaeologists at a Nuclear Reactor ❓ Interussia archaeology participants visited the Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics in Dubna. The laboratory is one of the scientific divisions of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), an international research center bringing together scientists from around the world to conduct studies in nuclear physics and related fields. During the visit, the fellows were given a lecture on the operation of a nuclear reactor and learned how neutron-based research methods are used to study archaeological artifacts. These techniques allow scientists to analyze the composition and structure of objects without damaging them, providing valuable insights into their origin, age and history. The group also visited the office of the laboratory’s first director, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Ilya Frank, whose pioneering work laid the foundation for many of the institute’s scientific achievements. The highlight of the visit was a guided tour of the reactor itself, where participants had the opportunity to see the facility close and learn more about the technologies that support both fundamental science and interdisciplinary research. The trip offered a unique perspective on how advanced nuclear physics tools can contribute to the study and preservation of cultural heritage ☢️ The InteRussia Fellowship in Archaeology is implemented by Mezhdunarodniki Autonomous Non-Profit Organisation in cooperation with the Gorchakov Fund and the Institute of Oriental Studies with support from the Tavolga Foundation and the Presidential Grants Foundation. #InteRussia #Archaeology #PresidentialGrantsFoundation 1️⃣1️⃣1️⃣
