Construction of Bulgaria’s first professional radio telescope – LOFAR-BG – completed

An aerial view of the completed LOFAR-BG station shows the low-frequency and high-frequency antennas as well as the computing container. Source: Kamen Kozarev (IA with NAO, BAS) The construction of the two antenna arrays and the associated infrastructure for LOFAR-BG – Bulgaria’s first professional radio telescope and part of the pan-European LOFAR radio telescope network – has been successfully completed. The project was realised as a result of international collaboration between the Institute of Astronomy with National Astronomical Observatory (IA with NAO) at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, AstroTec Holding B.V. and the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy (ASTRON). The facility, located in the immediate vicinity of the Rozhen National Astronomical Observatory, will be the 53rd station in the European network and the first in [...]

BAS hosts a forum on scientific entrepreneurship and the creation of spin-off companies

The first edition of the SCION Spin-Off Forum took place on 23 September in the “Prof. Marin Drinov” Hall of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. The forum brought together scientists, entrepreneurs, investors and representatives of institutions to discuss how scientific research can be put into practical application and reach the market. The event was opened by SCION co-founder Ms. Sasha Bezuhanova and Prof. Ina Aneva, Scientific Secretary of BAS. In her welcome address, Prof. Aneva emphasised that the Academy employed researchers of exceptional calibre whose achievements received international recognition and reinforced the standing of Bulgarian science. She pointed out that BAS scientists were developing promising technologies and innovative solutions capable of addressing important social and economic challenges but that the path from scientific discovery to [...]

International recognition for the Bulgarian school of electrochemistry: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Plamen Nikolov elected a member of the Alpha-Beta Society

Associate Professor Dr. Plamen Nikolov, Director of the “Academician Evgeni Budevski” Institute of Electrochemistry and Energy Systems (IEES-BAS) at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, has been elected as the 33rd member of the prestigious international scientific Alpha-Beta Society. The news was announced on 15 September during this year’s European Lead Battery Conference (ELBC’2026) in Vienna. Membership of the Alpha-Beta Society is strictly limited and is expanded by only one new member per year. Members of the society are internationally recognised scientists and specialists who have made an exceptional contribution to the development of science and technology relating to lead-acid batteries. With the election of Assoc. Prof. Nikolov, the number of representatives of the Bulgarian school of electrochemistry of lead-acid batteries in the society has risen [...]

Bulgarian scientists uncover the key to a rare genetic disorder

Rare diseases affect 1 in 2,000 people which means over 350,000–400,000 Bulgarians and at least 30 million Europeans. To date, 7,000–8,000 rare diseases have been identified, the majority of which are of unknown origin, and over 90 per cent of which have no treatment. Elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying these diseases is of paramount importance for medical science and human health. A diagram comparing the effect of normal histone H1.4 and its mutated form on an array of nucleosomes. Every human cell contains 30 million nucleosomes (the basic building blocks of chromatin), and each of these consists of four core proteins around which the DNA is wound. The DNA is represented by blue lines wound around the four proteins (grey circles). The individual [...]

“Current Issues in Science” hosts a lecture by Prof. Nikolai Spassov

  On 17 September, Prof. Nikolai Spassov from the National Museum of Natural History gave a lecture at BAS entitled “The first bipedal hominids originated in the Balkans, not in Africa”. The lecture took place as part of the academic seminar “Current Issues in Science”. Prof. Spassov is a zoologist, palaeontologist and palaeoanthropologist. He is the author of more than 280 scientific publications, many of which have appeared in leading international journals. His main contributions are in the fields of mammalian systematics and evolution, palaeozoogeography and early human evolution. During his lecture, Prof. Spassov examined one of the key issues in the field of palaeoanthropology which has long been the subject of serious debate: the time and place of the origin of the first bipedal [...]
