New research involving NCBJ helps to better understand the structure of matter
09-02-2026
Generalized parton distributions (GPDs) are one of the key tools of modern particle physics. They allow us to describe how matter is structured at the deepest, subatomic level. Until now, most of our knowledge about GPDs has come from studies of phenomena such as Compton scattering and meson production. A new theoretical paper, co-authored by a scientist from the National Center for Nuclear Research, analyzes another, less well-known phenomenon—photon-meson pair photoproduction—which may provide new information about the interactions of the smallest components of matter.
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).
Workshop on detection and dosimetry techniques

On 5 February, the Radiation Detectors and Plasma Diagnostics Division at the National Centre for Nuclear Research organised a workshop on mixed radiation detection and dosimetry. Detection techniques are used in medicine, industry and nuclear energy, among other fields.
New model from NCBJ reveals unexpected effects of sound propagation in crystals
30-01-2026
Atomic-scale computer simulations allow us to study material properties that are inaccessible to traditional experimental methods. In his latest work, a scientist from the National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ) has proposed a new model describing the propagation of sound in crystals, which reveals the existence of previously unknown dynamic effects and forces occurring in the crystal structure under the influence of an acoustic wave.
