On 21 April 2008, a scientific session of the Physical Sciences Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences was held at the conference room of the Lebedev Physical Institute, RAS. The following talks were presented:

1. Ovchinnikov V V (Institute of Electrophysics, RAS (UB), Ekaterinburg) “Radiation-dynamic effects. Potential for producing condensed media with unique properties and structural states”;
2. Garnov S V (Prokhorov General Physics Institute, RAS, Moscow) “Femtosecond laser plasma of multiply ionized gases”;
3. Murtazaev A K (Institute of Physics, Dagestan Scientific Center, RAS, Dagestan State University, Makhachkala) “Critical properties of frustrated spin systems on a stacked triangular lattice”;
4. Khazanov E A, Sergeev A M (Institute of Applied Physics, RAS, Nizhnii Novgorod) “Petawatt lasers based on optical parametric amplifiers: their state and prospects”.
