…Since the first edition, the event has shown how diverse and interesting are the activities in which people connected with the UW are involved – those who work or study here, as well as those who have graduated from the University,” said Prof. Beata Glinka from the UW Faculty of Management, the competition coordinator and the UW Rector’s Plenipotentiary for Entrepreneurship Development.   The competition contributes to the promotion of values such…

…x of DNA. They appear naturally in materials created by low-symmetry molecules, i.e. chiral molecules that are non-superimposable on their mirror images. Electric dipoles are systems of spatially separated positive and negative charges. Although majority of molecules have a dipole moment, they only occasionally form crystalline networks in which the dipoles are aligned in one direction, creating a ferroelectric phase.   Until recently, it was wide…
