Through their basic research activity, researchers from the University of Debrecen and HUN-REN ATOMKI have contributed to the development of an innovative detector technology that could lead to significant advances, for example, in areas such as medical imaging systems. The researchers have reached the conclusion that the high-precision time-of-flight detector under scrutiny is equally suitable for use in large-scale physics experiments and in applications used by the general public.

A new procedure developed by a research group at the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Debrecen (FST, UD) may open up new avenues and provide a roadmap for future mass spectrometry analyses. This new testing method significantly reduces the time and cost of mass spectrometry measurements of proteins both in the pharmaceutical industry and protein research. The publication that summarizes the scientific finding has appeared in one of the most prestigious international chemistry journals, Angewandte Chemie.
A dual degree that is unique in Europe may be earned by the four Hungarian students who have been the first to win scholarships for a program run in cooperation between the University of Debrecen and South Dakota State University (SDSU) in the United States. These selected students from the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Science and Environmental Management, who will study at South Dakota State University for two semesters as part of their precision agricultural engineering training, will be leaving for the overseas institution on Wednesday.
Researchers at the University of Debrecen, together with their colleagues at HUN-REN ATOMKI, have developed a new test system that aims to help examine the high-voltage power supplies of detectors used to observe new physical phenomena discovered by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. This new measuring device is capable of simulating up to ten times the load of current.
Students from the Faculty of Music at the University of Debrecen performed outstandingly in a prestigious international percussion competition with a background of decades of professional tradition. Levente Szabari and Áron Karácsony came first and third in the Italy PAS Competition online contest in Pescara.
The latest findings and results of an international, interdisciplinary research project initiated and launched by the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Debrecen were presented in December at Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec. Attendants at the event could learn about the relevant publications released so far, an interactive map available in two languages, and the long-term plans for continuing the research activities.
Gert Loosen has received a prestigious award and high honor from the monarch of Belgium for his outstanding work in expanding and improving Hungarian-Belgian cultural and professional relations. Assistant Professor at the Institute of German Studies at the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Debrecen and Director of the Dutch-Flemish Center in Debrecen, Professor Loosen received the Knight’s Cross of the Order of the Crown on December 9 at a ceremony held at the Embassy of the Kingdom of Belgium to Hungary.
In accordance with the idea of international mobility, Anna Zsófia Nagy, who currently specializes in pop music singing at the Institute of Pop Music of UD, will get a chance to take part in a training program offered by Loyola University in New Orleans. She will be the first ever pop music student in Hungary to participate in an international scholarship program, making it possible for her to pursue her studies for almost six months in one of the key hubs of the music industry.
