Анотація

The journal “Fizyka Nyzkykh Temperatur” (FNT) or “Low Temperature Physics” (LTP) celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2025. The first issue of FNT was published in January 1975. The initiator and founder of the journal FNT was Professor B. I. Verkin, Director of the Institute for Low Temperature Physics and Engineering of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (ILTPE). He organized and managed all of the journal’s publishing activities and remained its Editor-in-Chief until his last days. B. I. Verkin considered the publication of the FNT to be his second life’s work, of course, after the establishment of the Institute [B. I. Verkin, as we remember him, Naukova Dumka, Kyiv (2007)]. The task was not an easy one, as he had to organize and prepare for publication a monthly scientific journal with more than a hundred articles per year. As Editor-in-Chief, B. I. Verkin united the efforts of a large number of people — authors, referees, technical workers and also ensured and maintained a high level of published articles. The Editorial Board of the new issue included prominent national scientists, leading experts in the field of low-temperature physics.
