Doctor Honoris Causa on Prof. François Englert
24-04-2024…quantum description of other interactions. An example to follow The achievements of the honourable scientist as well as his relations with the University of Warsaw were presented by Prof. Stefan Pokorski from the UW Institute of Theoretical Physics, “Professor François Englert joins the narrow group of outstanding physicists and Nobel Prize winners who have been awarded honorary doctorates of our University – Louis de Broglie, Frederic Joliot-C…

The ultra-long-period Cepheid
23-04-2024…sical Cepheids in the Galaxy that remain undetected, and the Milky Way does not differ in the number of long-period Cepheids compared to other galaxies. The fact that this star was misclassified as an LPV in the ASAS-SN and Gaia catalogs indicates the need for continuous improvement of algorithms for the automated classification of variable stars. For now, traditional visual inspection of light curves remains the most reliable method for classifyi…

Honorary doctorate for Prof. François Englert
22-04-2024…f. François Englert and Prof. Robert Brout wrote a ground-breaking paper “Broken Symmetry and the Mass of Gauge Vector Mesons”. In 2013, together with Prof. Brout, he was awarded The Nobel Prize for the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles, and which recently was confirmed through the discovery of the predicted fundamental particle, by the ATLAS and CMS experiments…

Record-mass black hole discovered by the Gaia mission
16-04-2024…lack hole when it is sucked into the black hole. When the black hole does not have a companion close enough to steal matter from it, it does not emit any radiation, hence the extreme difficulty in detecting them. On 16th April, the team of space mission Gaia announced in Astronomy & Astrophysics Letter the discovery of the third dormant black hole. This happened by accident when scientists were proving the data for the publication of the next Ga…

Animals and the concept of Eastern Europe

The narrative of the war expedition is interrupted by a description of the Hercynian Forest and its animals, which could not be found anywhere else. “One of these – along with an elk and an aurochs – is ‘a bull in the shape of a deer’. The illustrations and commentaries on this passage are a fascinatin…

In the world of quantum algorithms

This area could be an overlap between our scientific interests,” Prof Tomza explains. The European Research Council has granted funding, almost 3.5 million euro, to Prof. Emanuel Gull fo…

Research on riboswitches
08-04-2024…synthetic riboswitches. These can be incorporated into mRNA, for example in mammalian cells, giving us control over the production of particular proteins. Nevertheless, designing riboswitches is challenging because it requires predicting how their structure will change upon binding to a specific molecule. Even if a molecule binds tightly to a riboswitch, it does not always ensure that the riboswitch will function as expected in living cells,” Prof…

Fish personalities
05-04-2024…h was published in Ecohydrology & Hydrobiology journal. “Inter-behavioural differences in behaviour of fish are frequently investigated. We provide a snapshot view of what personalities in freshwater fish are, how they manifest in different species, how they are shaped under different selective pressures, emerge over ontogeny, and form complex traits” Prof. Pietrzak said. The researchers point out that in the contemporary global environmental…
