…ent was concluded. Subsequent agreements were signed in 2006 and 2015. The two universities have been working together in such areas as education, exchange of academics or joint publications. The UW offered educational programmes, including doctoral studies, to students from the BUK. Additionally, joint scientific activities and conferences have been organised. UW students have the opportunity to do language and cultural internships in Kano – this…

…tical physicist is engaged in developing methods that are key to understanding quantum systems in particular quantum materials.   “Quantum materials are materials, in which the strangeness of quantum leads to fascinating and technologically useful effects such as magnetism or superconductivity,” says Prof. Gull from the University of Michigan. “We find such materials in hospital MRIs, sensors, high-voltage DC transmission lines, and electric car b…

On 22nd and 23rd March, the University of Warsaw hosted a meeting of rectors of universities affiliated to the LERU-CE7 network. The discussed topics included the development of research infrastructure and the research security. The meeting began on 22nd March at the UW’s Biological and Chemical Research Centre (CNBCh). The assembled guests were welcomed by Prof. Alojzy Z. Nowak, Rector of the UW, and Prof. Ewa Bulska, Director of the CNBCh UW.  …

Dr Kołodynski’s team will develop unique software and models that will be applied to state-of-the-art quantum sensors based on atoms, diamonds an…

…edia, which deeply engage their users’ senses, poses enormous scientific and social challenges. We discussed them in order to look for a recipe for how to manage the relationship between humans and technology in times of immanent crises, so that the profit and loss account is constantly in the user’s favour,” said Dr Karolina Brylska, vice-director of the Laboratory of Media Studies, University of Warsaw, coordinator and co-originator of the confe…

…ion. Such molecules are decoded more efficiently under certain conditions, leading to increased production of certain types of proteins. Our modification seems to give this result – the molecules gain priority in the queue for protein production. Perhaps mRNA becomes resistant to the action of some enzyme that quenches its extraordinary biological activity, but verifying this requires further research. The most important thing is that as a result…
