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.

How does bark affect the durability of laminated particleboards? NCBJ's research
14-01-2026
Laminated particleboards are one of the most commonly used materials in the furniture industry. Their durability depends on many factors related, for example, to the near-surface layer. These include the presence of additives such as tree bark, which is sometimes used when other raw materials are not available. In their new study, researchers from NCBJ and SGGW investigated the effect of bark additives on durability and defects during the processing of boards.
