…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…

…y organised together with Prof. Ohno the first Polish-Japanese Symposium on Magnetic Semiconductors. In the following years these symposia were continued both in Warsaw and Japan,” Prof. Twardowski indicated. Contemporary information technologies use semiconductors to process information and ferromagnetic materials to store it. Prof. Hideo Ohno pioneered the development of a new class of materials – ferromagnetic III-V semiconductor compounds, whi…

…ientific discussions, joint publications and access to unique samples produced in Prof Ohno’s laboratory.   In 1997, the Polish-Japanese Symposium on Magnetic Semiconductors took place, organised jointly with the scientist. In the following years, such symposia were continued in Warsaw and Japan.   For his research and scientific achievements, Prof. Ohno has been honoured with a number of prestigious awards, including the IBM Japan Science Award (…

…cial responsibility of universities. The 4EU+ Alliance aims to create a comprehensive research-intensive European University.   The 4EU+ Alliance organises meetings for its community members every year. The first annual annual meeting meeting was held in 2019 at Sorbonne University, and the second – in an online formula – was organised by Charles University. The 2021 Annual Meeting was hosted by Heidelberg University. Last year, the representative…
