Largest Ever Radio Sky Survey Maps the Universe in Unprecedented Detail
19-02-2026
An international collaboration using the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) has unveiled an exceptionally detailed radio sky map, revealing 13.7 million cosmic sources and delivering the most complete census yet of actively growing supermassive black holes. It showcases an extraordinary variety of systems powered by these black holes, whose radio emission can extend for millions of light-years. The newly released LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS-DR3) marks a major milestone in radio astronomy and international scientific collaboration. The result is published in Astronomy & Astrophysics.

On February 10, we hosted representatives of the Institute of Power Engineering – National Research Institute at NCBJ. During the next in a series of workshop meetings, staff from both institutes shared their experiences and knowledge of competencies in order to define a joint research agenda for NCBJ and IEN-PIB.
Prof. Lech Szymanowski as co-author of an influential publication on the structure of matter
09-02-2026
Prof. Lech Szymanowski from the National Center for Nuclear Research is the co-author of an article published in the prestigious journal Physical Review D. The paper concerns research into the deepest structure of matter and proposes a new way of describing it, which may help scientists around the world to better understand what the basic components of atoms are made of and how they are structured.
NCBJ doctoral student awarded NAWA Bekker grant
06-02-2026
Krzysztof Lisiecki, a PhD student at the Astrophysics Division of the National Centre for Nuclear Research, has been awarded a NAWA Bekker grant for his project entitled "Cosmic giants in miniature? The truth about the sizes of the most massive galaxies in the Universe". The grant provides an opportunity to conduct research on a special population of galaxies, known as red nuggets, using state-of-the-art research methods and advanced telescopes, such as the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
