About RNIKS-2021 conference

The Conference «Neutron Scattering in Condensed Matter Research» (RNIKS-2023) continues the tradition of all-Russia scientific meetings where use of neutron scattering methods in the modern science is discussed. For more than half a century, RNIKS has been the largest national platform for discussing the latest achievements in the field of neutron instrumentation, crystal and magnetic structure phase transitions, dynamical properties and elementary excitations in solids, biological systems and objects of cultural heritage, as well as fundamental properties of neutrons.

History of the Conference:

The Conference «Neutron Scattering in Condensed Matter Research» began as a workshop in 1964 at the final stage of the Atomic Project in the USSR. Over the years, RNIKS Conferences (Meetings) were held in different cities of the Soviet Union and Russia (Riga, Moscow, Zarechny (Sverdlovsk Region), Gatchina (Leningrad Region), Obninsk (Kaluga Region), St. Petersburg).

RNICS-2021 will be held from 25 to 28 September, 2023 in Yekaterinburg.
