…ate Impactor 2023 competition for the Masurian Center for Biodiversity and Nature Education in Urwitałt in the “impressive design” category. The investment was also distinguished in the PLGBC Green Building Awards 2023 in the category of best green public sector building; the “Intelligent Green University” programme has been established at the University to nurture and promote green solutions in UW’s infrastructure projects and spaces.   Workplace…

…widely believed that in liquids, dipole interactions were too weak compared to the energy of thermal motion to maintain such ordering. The possibility of forming liquid phases with ferroelectrically ordered dipoles is surprising on its own, but the discovery that non-chiral molecules in such ferroelectric liquid spontaneously arrange themselves into helices is entirely extraordinary. Moreover, the pitch of these helices is comparable to the wavel…

…long stays in Ulsan, Korea, where KINGS is based. It is important to remember that we are talking about a university in the vicinity of which five nuclear reactors are located. It is an excellent opportunity to learn about physics and technologies directly at the source,” Prof. Krzysztof Turzyński emphasizes.   On 14th November 2022, the Memorandum of Understanding on Collaborative Academic Program on Nuclear Power Plant Engineering and Technology…

…he only such a depiction on cellulose film in history,” Jakub Gniadzik emphasised.   Nowak’s photographs show the various stages of his journey, capturing indigenous inhabitants, local flora and fauna, and stunning African landscapes. They show that the traveller avoided the main transport routes and reached places where the Europeans had not yet been at that time.   “During his African journey, he often had to rely on the help of the natives, who…

…d waves. They play an important role in solid state physics. High-frequency phonons are of importance primarily in quantum technology and nano-phonics. Their tiny wavelengths make them compatible with quantum nanodevices while their frequencies exceed modern computing speeds. Their major potential could allow phonons to find applications in quantum memories, hybrid systems and elements of quantum computing networks.   The research will be conducte…

…ven by him in Polish. Addressing the academic community, he emphasised the importance of helping Ukraine and the civic attitude of Poles, and spoke about the value of democracy and the issue of security in the context of presence in the North Atlantic Alliance.   During the second part of the event, a discussion was held, moderated by Robert Grey, the UW Chancellor.
