Scientists from the National Centre for Nuclear Research, the University of Vienna and the Jagiellonian University have developed a new computer model that allows them to study quantum phenomena in the world of high-energy photons – particles of light with energies a million times greater than those we can see with the naked eye.

A series of technical meetings between the National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ) and the Polish Atomic Energy Agency regarding the HTGR-POLA reactor technology has been finalized.

The 8th edition of the Polish Conference for Hydrogen Energy and Technologies (PCHET), one of Poland's most important events dedicated to hydrogen technologies and energy transition, will begin on 15 October. This year's conference is held under the honorary patronage of the National Centre for Nuclear Research. The director of the NCBJ will be among the experts participating in the conference.

On 7 October, the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences announced its verdict on the winners of the Nobel Prize in Physics. This year's prize was awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis for their discovery of the macroscopic quantum tunnelling effect and energy quantisation in an electrical circuit.

Astronomers have discovered the most distant and most powerful “odd radio circle” (ORC) ever observed – with key contributions from a researcher at the Astrophysics division of the National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ).

Energy Days 2025 is a conference that brings together over 1,500 people to discuss the challenges facing the Polish energy sector. During one of the panels, Prof. Jakub Kupecki, Director of the National Centre for Nuclear Research, will join a group of experts to discuss the role of small modular reactors in the energy system and the Polish economy.

The anniversary gala, which took place on 24 September, was the official culmination of the celebrations marking 70 years of nuclear research in Poland. We would like to express our sincere thanks for the words of appreciation we received from representatives of institutions representing the government, the scientific community and industry.

Last week, the 32nd International Conference on Nuclear Physics, organised by the National Centre for Nuclear Research and Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, took place. This year's conference was dedicated to the 80th birthday of Prof. Krzysztof Pomorski, who was associated with UMCS for many years and is currently an employee of the NCBJ Theoretical Physics Division. The event was full of fruitful deliberations, lively discussions and beautiful memories.

On 15–18 September 2025, the Warsaw University of Technology campus hosted the E-MRS Fall Meeting 2025 – one of Europe's most important scientific events in the field of materials research. This year's conference included 23 thematic symposia in four main areas: materials for energy and sustainable development, characterisation and simulation techniques supported by artificial intelligence, thin films and composite materials, and advanced electronic and quantum materials.

Polish nuclear energy is celebrating 70 years of development. From the launch of the first research reactor in Świerk, through decades of research, innovation and radioisotope production, to plans to build modern power plants – the history of Polish nuclear energy is a story of knowledge, determination and the enormous contribution of scientists to the country's development.
