Redesigning materials to harvest wasted heat
10-06-2025
Thermoelectric (TE) materials, which convert waste heat into electricity, are gaining critical importance in addressing global energy challenges. In a significant breakthrough, scientists from the National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ) in Poland, in collaboration with researchers from China, have achieved a significant enhancement of the TE performance of tungsten diselenide (WSe2), a two-dimensional (2D) material already known for its promising thermopower and environmental friendliness.

New paper by NCBJ scientists may pave the way for new atomic clocks
09-06-2025
Atomic clocks, which rely on measuring the resonant frequency of atoms, can measure time with remarkable accuracy. In the scientific community, a strong candidate for a new atomic clock standard is the thorium-229 isotope. In a new paper just published in the journal Physical Review C, researchers from the NCBJ's Department of Nuclear Techniques and Equipment have described the isomeric excitation process and the potential for producing this isotope.

New SONATA Grant for NCBJ: Where and When Did the Emergency Release of Radioactive Substances Begin? A New Model for Identifying Contamination Sources in Europe
06-06-2025
Dr. Piotr Kopka from the National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ) has received funding under the prestigious SONATA 20 competition organized by the National Science Centre (NCN). The project, titled ”A Probabilistic Inverse Model for Identifying the Source of Atmospheric Contamination on a Continental Scale”, aims to develop a new model that, based on sensor network data, will be able to accurately determine the location and time of the release of hazardous substances into the atmosphere.
