The major scientific results of the Institute include

An investigation of intramolecular dynamics of cellulose fibers, the character and

types of motion of marked cellulose chains independent from their origin,

temperature and humidity was completed. The correlation of marks, motion, and the

degree of correlation of molecular dynamics with mechanical solidity of fibers were

established by the studies.

The following have been worked out:

•

  an acoustic analysis of materials during their chemical decomposition;

•

  a method of growing molybdenum and tungsten bulk monocrystals from the

melt;

•

  a method for stabilizing alternating voltage;

•

  a method for the investigation of different biosubstrates using spectroscopic

methods;

In the program of the investigation of experimental characteristic interactions of

cosmic rays with atmospheric nuclei in the field of energy higher than 10 eV

(experiment Pamir - Chakaltay), a gigantic super-family named "Tajikistan" was

registered, the central part of which has energy of 4.8x10 eV. This is the largest

super-family registered by a roentgen emulsion chamber in the world.
