July 03, 2025 Geophysicist Ho-Kwang Mao: “We still are very elementary in understanding material sciences, and I’m one who opens its door”
Studying materials in extreme conditions is a promising area of research that helps to uncover previously unknown secrets about our planet. According to Chinese-American geophysicist Ho-Kwang Mao, the scale and importance of the high-pressure area correspond to a separate branch of physics. The complexity of these studies is quite high, so they require the exchange of international experience. The Centre, which is headed by Professor Mao, employs research teams from different countries, including BRICS. The scientist himself also works closely with colleagues from Russia.

Ho-Kwang Mao, director of the Shanghai Centre for Advanced Research in High-Pressure Science and Technology, answered these and other questions.

May 08, 2025 Brazilian political scientist, Fabiano Mielniczuk: "Brazil's participation in World War II is matter of national pride"
During World War II, Brazil made a significant contribution to the struggle of its allies against the Nazi forces, which became its only direct participation in the global conflict. The country entered the war in 1942 and became the only Latin American state to send its troops to participate in the fighting in Europe. More than 25,000 Brazilian soldiers were sent to Italy in 1944-1945 as part of the Allied Mediterranean campaign. They participated in several key battles, such as the Battle of Monte Castello, the Battle of Collecchio, and the capture of Montez.

Attention to this topic in modern Brazilian society has been growing in recent years. The role of national troops in the fight against fascism is becoming the subject of research and historical discoveries, which form the basis of films and books about the participation of Brazilian soldiers in World War II.
