On behalf of the Foundation for the Promotion of Science and Development TYGIEL we invite participation in the conference entitled Interdisciplinarity as a key to development (March 21-24, 2024) which is held under the honorary patronage by the Institute of Molecular Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences.

We encourage to take part in this unique conference and wish everyone interested in participating in this event fruitful meetings and inspiring scientific discussions.

On September 17, 2023, the Polish Community Picnic, organized by the Polish Embassy in Ljubljana, took place in the picturesque Pokljuka region in Slovenia. This unique meeting was opened by Krzysztof Olendzki – Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Poland in Slovenia. Dr. Magdalena Wencka from IMP PAS actively participated in the organization of the event and conducted scientific workshops on the occasion of the 550th anniversary of the birth of the great Pole and scientist – Nicolaus Copernicus. The main theme of the shows was "super cold forms of gases" available both on our planet and in space. Dr. Wencka also took part in a radio broadcast by Slovenian Radio SI during which cultural and linguistic similarities and differences between Poland and Slovenia were discussed.

On September 1, 2023, we hosted Professor Klaus von Klitzing at the Institute – the Nobel Prize winner in Physics “for the discovery of the quantized Hall effect”. During the meeting, our researchers had the opportunity to take part in a conversation with the eminent guest, talk about research conducted at the Institute, and listen to a short presentation by Prof. von Klitzing. The meeting took place in a great atmosphere, conducive to interesting discussions and information exchange. We would like to thank the world-renowned scientist for his time and interest in our Institute. We would also like to thank everyone who was involved in the organization of this unique event.

On Friday, June 10, 2023, the Final of the 2nd National Construction Competition entitled "Physics in Motion" was held at IMP PAS. This time, the aim of the contest was to build a prototype of a capsule (with an egg on the board), which, when thrown from a height of approx. 7 m, will cover the greatest possible distance and will protect the unique "passenger" from damage after falling to the ground.

More than 30 teams from different regions of Poland took part in the close competition. The winners of the contest were: Powiatowy Zespół Szkół in Bieruniu (1st place), CLVII LO im. Marii Skłodowskiej-Curie from Warsaw (2nd place), and III LO im. Agnieszki Osieckiej in Sopot (3rd place).

We would like to thank all participants for their commitment and participation in the competition, and the organizers for its efficient conducting. Separate thanks are due to the Ministry of Education and Science for supporting this form of education and popularizing science (SONP/SP/513407/2021).

BUDMA Fair, i.e. the International Construction and Architecture Fair, in which IFM PAN participates this year, is one of the most important market events in the calendar of the Poznań International Fair, the largest exhibition and fair center in Poland.

BUDMA is an annual meeting place for over 1,000 exhibitors presenting the latest, innovative solutions in the field of services, technologies and building materials. BUDMA creates great opportunities for acquiring specialist knowledge, exchanging experience, establishing new and maintaining existing relationships between producers, distributors of technology and representatives of trade, architects, contractors and investors.

On 30th November at Stary Browar shopping centre in Poznań, locals were able participate in a fascinating journey to the world of low temperatures. Researchers from the Institute of Molecular Physics PAS encouraged onlookers to carry out various scientific experiments that examine how different objects behave in contact with liquid nitrogen. Kids were freezing flowers and air-filled balloons, and filling soap bubbles with fog they made.

The shows were organized in cooperation with the Polish company SmartBee Club, which produces experimental sets for children. The main purpose of the shows was to promote scientific research and science in general, as well as to advertise "Fizyka Warta Poznania" – a periodical series of popular science lectures taking place at the IMP PAS.

Our scientist dr. hab. Piotr Kuświk has been granted by National Science Center (NSC ) for his research project “Ferromagnetic layers with lateral distribution of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction for application in spintronic and magnonic devices”.

2051 applications were submitted for the OPUS 17, with 308 of them qualified for funding. In dr Kuświk’s ST5 panel only 21 from 165 applications were approved.

The research project was granted 1 895 500 PLN for a period of 36 months.

Congratulations!
