The growing share of renewable energy sources, combined with increasing pressure from stringent emissions standards, requires radical changes in energy policy and the structure of energy generation. Decarbonization efforts are no longer limited to the power sector as a whole, but also extend to distributed energy sources, heavy industry, chemical plants, and other sectors that have traditionally relied on fossil fuels.
New SONATINA grants for NCBJ researchers
17-08-2026
Two researchers from the Department of Fundamental Research at the National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ) have secured funding under the National Science Centre’s SONATINA 10 programme. The programme supports the careers of young researchers by providing opportunities to conduct scientific research in Poland and to gain knowledge and experience through internships at high-quality research centres abroad.

The National Centre for Nuclear Research invites applications for a scientific position
Another step towards the commercialisation of NCBJ’s research
07-08-2026
The second call for proposals for pre-implementation work under the “Science4Business” project has now closed. Three projects from the National Centre for Nuclear Research have been selected for implementation; these have the potential to transform scientific research findings into innovative solutions for the economy.
NCBJ is developing a numerical model of the ion source for the ITER plasma heating system
05-08-2026
Scientists from the National Centre for Nuclear Research are participating in the development of an advanced numerical model of the negative ion source used in the SPIDER experiment. The SPIDER facility is a full-scale prototype of an ion source for the Neutral Beam Injection (NBI) system, which will be responsible for heating the plasma in the ITER experimental fusion reactor. The results of the latest research have been published in the journal Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion.
We are building NAHEPaM – the NewATHENA High Energy Particle Monitor.
28-07-2026
On 22 July 2026, the Kick-Off Meeting / Progress Meeting 3 for the NAHEPaM (NewATHENA High-Energy Particle Monitor) project took place at the National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ).
The project is being carried out by the National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ) and the Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center of the Polish Academy of Sciences (CAMK PAN) under a contract with the European Space Agency (ESA).
The NAHEPaM instrument will measure the flux of high-energy particles incident on the future NewATHENA mission. This will enable scientists to determine the X-ray background level in real time during observations of cosmic objects with an unprecedented level of accuracy.

NCBJ astrophysicists advance understanding of distortions in the Cosmic Microwave Background
24-07-2026
The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) contains key information about the earliest stages of the Universe's evolution. In a recent study, astrophysicists from the National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ) investigated how microwave emission from our Galaxy and gravitational lensing distort the CMB signal. They also examined which methods could be employed by future CMB experiments to place tighter constraints on the amplitude of primordial gravitational waves.
Researchers from NCBJ and CEA develop a new method for testing materials for nuclear reactors
23-07-2026
Researchers from the NOMATEN Center of Excellence at the National Center for Nuclear Research and CEA Paris-Saclay have developed a multiscale method for determining the mobility of radiation defects induced by ionizing radiation. This new approach combines numerical simulations, hydrodynamics, and experimental data, and serves as a new tool for determining the behavior of materials exposed to radiation, such as in nuclear reactors.
Are cosmic butterflies hiding the binary supermassive black holes?
22-07-2026
X-shaped radio galaxies (XRGs) are a rare class of active galaxies, whose origins are still uncertain. Scientists believe they might be linked to galaxy mergers, which makes them candidates to find black hole pairs that will produce gravitational waves in the future. Results of the study of almost 200 XRGs, led by Prajnadipt Ghosh, a doctoral student from the Astrophysics Division at NCBJ, have just been published in the Astrophysical Journal.
