Debate on nature of our Universe and science limits

Panel discussion on nature of our Universe and science boundaries
Outstanding physicists from the entire world, attendees of the COSMO-15 Conference held in Warsaw, are going to participate in an open debate entitled “Is modern physics crossing the boundaries of science?” to be held on Thursday, September 10, 2015 in the Warsaw University Library Old Building (BUW). The panel discussion will be opened for the general public. ----

CCOSMO-15: in two years we might spot the first dark matter particles

New detectors will help to definitively resolve the neutralino existence question within the two coming years
Mysterious dark matter observed in cosmos mainly as gravitational shadows has been inferred for a long time. Perhaps it is composed of neutralinos, particles predicted by super-symmetric theories of the matter. Estimations performed by a team of physicists from NCBJ in Świerk suggest that new generation detectors (just in the commissioning phase) will help to definitively resolve the neutralino existence question within two coming years. ----

Physicists are scrutinizing foundations of the Universe at the COSMO-15 international conference

COSMO-15 Conference in Warsaw
Our Universe continues to be a huge mystery for scientists. Participants of the COSMO-15 international conference held in Warsaw between September 7-11, 2015 are scrutinizing fundamental issues regarding origin, evolution, and structure of the Universe. ----

Renaissance of the BNCT therapy

Visualization of the new test facility for research on epithermal neutron beams exited from the MARIA reactor
The MARIA nuclear reactor operated in Świerk will soon be equipped with some new test facilities. NCBJ researchers are going to put in operation a lab dedicated for research on beams of epithermal neutrons. That will enable research on Boron-Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT), a method to treat some cancer types, e.g. brain cancer. ----
