The biggest detectors of smallest particles were discussed in Warsaw
2018.09.26 - Marek Pawłowski
Neutrinos are (almost) undetectable particles, that can provide us with incredibly interesting information about the very beginning of the Universe. Construction of yet another powerful neutrino detector Hyper-Kamiokande will soon begin in Japan. This project, among many other topics, was discussed by guests from the whole world during the conference organized I Warsaw on 19th – 21st September by NCBJ (along with other institutions).

Isotope energy storage?
2018.09.07 - Marek Pawłowski
Research work with metastable isotope of rhenium-186m has started in National Centre for Nuclear Research. Half-life of this isomer is approx. 200 thousand years, but it can be forced into a fast decaying nuclear state, which releases a much greater energy in its decay than the energy required to initiate the process. Because of this property, rhenium nuclei can be a viable energy storage. This research in Świerk will be funded by U. S Army Research Laboratory (ARL).
