2021.11.17 9:31 - Marek Pawłowski In the data from the third observatory campaign of Advanced-LIGO and Advanced-Virgo observatories (from November 2019 to March 2020), another 35 sources of gravitational waves were found, thus extending their list to 90 objects. 32 sources come from the merger of two black holes, and 3 from the merger of the black hole system with a neutron star.  Scientists from the NCBJ Astrophysics Department are participating in the work of the LVK consortium. ----

2021.11.09 20:35 - Marek Pawłowski Scientists from NCBJ and the Institute of Geophysics of the Polish Academy of Sciences have published the results of many years of research on radionuclide concentrations in the polar region and in Poland. The collected data enriches the knowledge about the movement and mixing of air masses on a regional to global scale, and about environmental dust. ----

”Speed ​​is our domain” – advanced simulations in vehicle design

2021.11.05 8:02 - Marek Pawłowski Designers ideas can be verified without incurring the cost of building a prototype. Numerical simulations using high-power computers accelerate calculations up to several hundred times compared to standard workstations. The Świerk IT Center (CIŚ) at NCBJ offers such opportunities. They were presented on the example of a simulation of air flow around an electric motorcycle designed by students. ----
