Recommended publications: Statistics of punctuation in experimental literature - The remarkable case of Finnegans Wake by James Joyce

2024.08.27  Recently published research in an article in the journal Chaos is based on an analysis of James Joyce's work Finnegans Wake, the one from which Murray Gell-Mann took the spelling of the word 'quark' for the most fundamental constituents of matter. It turns out that the piece, which is full of metaphors and words adapted from about 70 different languages, has its own punctuation pattern.

Recommended publications: European X-ray laser explores a poorly understood state of matter

2024.08.07  The properties of warm dense matter have until recently been little known. Now, thanks to the use of X-ray lasers, physicists are gaining more and more information about this important but still mysterious state of matter. The first comprehensive observations of ionisation processes in warm dense matter, carried out at the European X-ray Free-Electron Laser (European XFEL), have just been presented in one of the most prestigious physics journals.

Recommended publications: The higgs does not seem to contain any factors from new physics

2024.07.10  The Higgs boson was discovered in the detectors of the Large Hadron Collider a dozen or so years ago. It has proved to be a particle so difficult to produce and observe that, despite the passage of time, its properties are still not known with satisfactory accuracy. Now we know a little more about its origin, thanks to the just-published achievement of an international group of theoretical physicists with the participation of the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences.

Signing of a Scientific Partnership Agreement between the Consortium of Polish Research Institutions COPIN and the GANIL Laboratory in Caen (France)

2024.07.01  On June 28th, a delegation from IFJ PAN visited the GANIL (Grand Accélérateur National d’Ions Lourds) laboratory in Caen, France. The delegation included Prof. Tadeusz Lesiak, Director General of IFJ PAN, Prof. Adam Maj, Chair of the Council of the Consortium of Polish Scientific Institutions COPIN (IFJ PAN is the coordinator of COPIN), and Prof. Bogdan Fornal, Deputy Director for Scientific Affairs at IFJ PAN.

Recommended publications: Gold nanoparticles kill cancer – but not as thought

2024.06.26  Gold particles having the size of billionths of a metre are lethal to cancer cells. This fact has been known for a long time, as has a simple correlation: the smaller the nanoparticles used to fight the cancer cells, the faster they die. However, a more interesting, more complex picture of these interactions is emerging from the latest research, conducted at the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, using a novel microscopic technique.
