The McChasy code aids in the study of defects in semiconductors for special applications.

2023.12.11 9:26 - Marek Pawłowski Defects in the crystal structure of semiconductors used in space and nuclear industry can have an impact on the functioning of devices built with them. A master's student from Instituto Superior Técnico in Portugal, in collaboration with NCBJ scientists, investigated defects that arise in gallium nitride when bombarded with argon. The use of the McChasy computer program developed in Świerk was a crucial aspect of the research. ----

Midlife Crisis of the Universe: Galaxies’ interactions did not affect interstellar dust

Dust-related energy Budget of over 1000 galaxies at the midlife of the Universe. Arrows correspond to the correlations with different quantities. M* is stellar mass, age* is stellar age. Different lines correspond to different relations from the literature. is the ultraviolet slope, a proxy for dust attenuation. IRX is the ratio of infrared to ultraviolet luminosities.
2023.11.02 11:19 - Piotr Spinalski A new study has shed light on the intricate cosmic dance between interstellar dust in galaxies, properties of galaxies, and their environments. For a very long time, the relations between dust and the galaxies was investigated. However, the link between dust properties and the neighborhood of galaxies was poorly understood. In the newest work published in Astronomy&Astrophysics, the scientists studied the relationship between the amount of stellar light absorbed by dust, and the environments of galaxies. ----

2023.10.23 15:06 - Marek Pawłowski The team of researchers from France, Poland, and the United Kingdom has proposed a new hypothesis suggesting that interactions between dark matter and neutrinos could shed light on certain anomalies in the distribution of the cosmic microwave background radiation. The details of the analysis have been described in articles published in the prestigious scientific journals, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters and Physics of the Dark Universe. ----
