Institute of Strength Physics and Materials Science of the Siberian Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences—one of the institutes of the Tomsk Research Center of the Siberian Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences. It is located in Tomsk Academic City. The Institute consists of 5 buildings with a total area of 18,487 square meters. The Institute has 15 research laboratories, the center of collective use "Nanotech", the international centre for research on physical mesomechanics, materials, the Interdisciplinary Science and Technology Center "Welding", the Testing Laboratory "Metal-Test", and 2 scientific and technological departments.
1979 — Department of Solid State Physics and Materials under the leadership of Viktor Panin at the Institute of Atmospheric Optics, SD of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR
1984 — Is released Institute of Strength Physics and Material Sciences of the SB USSR from the Institute of Atmospheric Optics. It was headed by Viktor Panin
1985 — Is created the Republican Engineering Technical Center (RETC) at IMPA of the SB USSR
1991 — Is established Russian Material Center based on the ISPMS SB RAS
from 1994 to 1997 — Institute had the status of the State Scientific Center of Russian Federation
1998 — the Institute began to publish an international scientific journal "Russian: Физическая мезомеханика" in Russian and "Physical Mesomechanics" in English.
2002 — Director of the Institute elected a PhD (Doctor of Sciences) in Physics and Mathematics Professor Sergey Psakhie. Decree of the Presidium of the RAS Academician Viktor Panin was appointed scientific director of the Institute
2007 — English version of the journal "Physical Mesomechanics" published by international publisher Elsevier
In 2009. the Institute celebrated the 25th anniversary. In this connection, on September 7–9, 2009, it held an international conference on physical mesomechanics, computer design and development of new materials. Opening the conference was at the Congress Center "Ruby".
The Council of Young Scientists and Specialists of the ISPMS SD RAS holds an annual competition of research papers in two categories: the work presented in Russian and the work presented in English.
Graduate students and staff of the Institute weekly in the evenings go play volleyball and basketball in the gym of the Tomsk Research Center.
Annually, the Institute carries out a corporate new year in the House of Scientists, which is located in the Tomsk Akademgorodok.
The Council of Young Scientists and Specialists if the ISPMS SD RAS participates annually in celebration of the foundation of the TomskAkademgorodok. Preparing a cultural program and art.
The Institute has 420 employees (146 researchers, including 1 academician of the Academy of Sciences, 44 PhD (doctors of science) and 90 PhD (candidates of science), the number of graduate students in 10 specialties — 40.
