Another research project financed by NCN

National Science Centre (NCN)

Among the research projects that received funding from the National Science Centre (NCN) under the OPUS-26 LAP/Weave competition is the grant entitled “Magnetoelastic materials without rare earth elements for efficient and environmentally friendly magnetic cooling technology”, which will be led by Prof. Dr. hab. Tomasz Toliński from our Institute. The project was developed in consortium with the Włodzimierz Trzebiatowski Institute of Low Temperature and Structural Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences (allocated funding: 2.879.660 PLN, including 2.313.180 PLN for IMP PAS). The foreign partner is the IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Center at VSB – Technical University of Ostrava in the Czech Republic.

The proposal was reviewed in the ST (Physical Sciences and Engineering) division, within the ST11 (Materials Engineering) panel, where 13 out of 112 submissions received funding.

We sincerely congratulate Professor Toliński and the entire team on securing funding for such fascinating research, which holds great potential for practical application – read more about the project.

Final of the National Construction Competition (II edition)

Final of the National Construction Competition (second edition)

On Friday, June 10, 2023, the Final of the 2nd National Construction Competition entitled "Physics in Motion" was held at IMP PAS. This time, the aim of the contest was to build a prototype of a capsule (with an egg on the board), which, when thrown from a height of approx. 7 m, will cover the greatest possible distance and will protect the unique "passenger" from damage after falling to the ground.

More than 30 teams from different regions of Poland took part in the close competition. The winners of the contest were: Powiatowy Zespół Szkół in Bieruniu (1st place), CLVII LO im. Marii Skłodowskiej-Curie from Warsaw (2nd place), and III LO im. Agnieszki Osieckiej in Sopot (3rd place).

We would like to thank all participants for their commitment and participation in the competition, and the organizers for its efficient conducting. Separate thanks are due to the Ministry of Education and Science for supporting this form of education and popularizing science (SONP/SP/513407/2021).

IMP PAS at Black Friday

On 30th November at Stary Browar shopping centre in Poznań, locals were able participate in a fascinating journey to the world of low temperatures. Researchers from the Institute of Molecular Physics PAS encouraged onlookers to carry out various scientific experiments that examine how different objects behave in contact with liquid nitrogen. Kids were freezing flowers and air-filled balloons, and filling soap bubbles with fog they made.

The shows were organized in cooperation with the Polish company SmartBee Club, which produces experimental sets for children. The main purpose of the shows was to promote scientific research and science in general, as well as to advertise "Fizyka Warta Poznania" – a periodical series of popular science lectures taking place at the IMP PAS.

The OPUS grant for Dr. Piotr Kuświk

Our scientist dr. hab. Piotr Kuświk has been granted by National Science Center (NSC ) for his research project “Ferromagnetic layers with lateral distribution of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction for application in spintronic and magnonic devices”.

2051 applications were submitted for the OPUS 17, with 308 of them qualified for funding. In dr Kuświk’s ST5 panel only 21 from 165 applications were approved.

The research project was granted 1 895 500 PLN for a period of 36 months.
