…heses investigated the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism in the Standard Model.   Prof. Englert has been recognised with numerous honours for his scientific achievements, including the 1982 Francqui Prize, the 1997 High Energy and Particle Physics Prize, the 2004 Wolf Prize in Physics, the 2010 J.J. Sakurai Prize for Theoretical Particle Physics by The American Physical Society, and the 2013 Prince of Asturias Award for Technical and Scientific Resear…

…tefan Pokorski, now professor of the UW Faculty of Physics, during his internship at the CERN had a chance to work with Prof. Englert. Over twenty doctoral theses of the Faculty of Physics are focused on the use the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism (BEH mechanism) in the Standard Model. The conferral ceremony will take place on 23rd April at 12 pm in the Senate Hall of the Kazimierzowski Palace. Prof. Stefan Pokorski from the UW Faculty of Physics is…

…in heavy elements. Surprisingly, the chemical composition of the companion is similar to that found in old, metal-deficient stars in the Galaxy,” explained Dr Milena Ratajczak from the UW’s Astronomical Observatory, a member of the Gaia consortium. This observation confirms, for the first time, the hypothesis of certain models of stellar evolution which suggest that the high-mass black holes observed via gravitational waves were produced by the gr…

…ough the accounts of ancient and mediaeval authors and up-to-date reports from local informants, who were not always reliable. The images they provided were reproduced in large numbers, which often did not contribute to the evolution of science but, on the contrary, strengthened errors and misunderstandings,” Prof. Jurkowlaniec said.   As an example, the researcher cites an excerpt from Julius Caesar’s Commentaries on the Gallic War. The narrative…

From 2005 to 2008, Prof. Byczuk did another internship with the team of Prof. Vollhardt. The other scientists working with Prof. Byczuk were also invited to collaborate with the German researcher: Dr Anna Kauch, Dr Jaromir Panas, Dr Banhi Chatterjee, and Dr Jan Skolimowski. This resulted in numerous publication…

…ical and Computational Modelling), and the RIKEN Advanced Centre for Computing and Communication.   Riboswitches Riboswitches are segments of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) located in front of the protein-coding part of the mRNA. They change structure when they bind to specific small molecules, such as metabolites. This structural change of the riboswitch affects whether the protein is made or not. Influencing the state of riboswitches could provide contr…
