Lebedev Physical Institute, Research institute in Gagarinsky District, Moscow, Russia.
The Lebedev Physical Institute is a research center in Moscow dedicated to physics across multiple fields. Work there encompasses laser science, astronomy, studies of matter at small scales, and other areas of modern physics.
The facility was founded in 1934 and grew from scientific collections with roots in early Russian institutional traditions. It became a major center for physics research during the Soviet era and continues that mission today.
The institute is named after physicist Pyotr Lebedev and represents a cornerstone of Russian scientific inquiry. Today it stands as a living symbol of the country's commitment to advancing knowledge through physics research.
The site can be viewed from outside and reflects a long scientific tradition in Moscow. The location sits in a district where visitors interested in science history can explore several related institutions.
The institute developed a technique for creating artificial crystals used in jewelry and optics. This material, known locally as Fianit, emerged from years of laboratory innovation.
