"Article, which title can be tranlated as 'Renewable energy sources or nuclear energy - what does Poland need?' was distinguished among many submitted works, which is a great proof of recognition from the jury and the journal's editorial staff. (...) The paper not only enriched the content of the Wiadomości Elektrotechniczne journal, but also contributed to expanding knowledge and inspiration for our readers," we read in the congratulatory letter

Understanding the structure of matter at the smallest scales is the greatest challenge faced by physicists today. Atoms consist of nuclei and electrons, nuclei of protons and neutrons, which in turn quarks bound together exist. In addition, the mass of all these particles is only a "side effect" of their interactions with each other or with the Higgs field, discovered experimentally over a decade ago. These interactions are modeled as the exchange of particles - gluons, photons and other so-called gauge bosons. And it is the properties of gluons that scientists from the National Center for Nuclear Research under the supervision of Dr. hab. Tolga Altinoluk will study in the project "Revealing the multidimensional structure of hadrons in the density saturation regime of high-energy gluonic collisions" financed by the National Science Center under the SONATA BIS programme.

Cancer diseases, which are the result of uncontrolled cell proliferation leading to the formation of tumors and disruption of organ functioning, significantly affect the quality of life and often lead to the death of the patient. Brain tumors are particularly difficult to treat due to their location in a vital organ, which limits surgical and radiotherapeutic options.

The National Centre for Nuclear Research and the MARIA Reactor represent a great potential that allows us to think with hope about the personnel and technological development of nuclear energy. It is also a unique research infrastructure on the map of Poland and the possibility of producing key radiopharmaceuticals for oncology therapies. These were the conclusions voiced during a visit by representatives of the United States and the Polish Atomic Energy Agency to the Świerk nuclear complex.

On 9-10 June, the 2nd Science for Society Congress was held at the Warsaw University of Technology under the motto ‘This is how science in Poland affects everyone's life’. During the Congress, representatives of the National Centre for Nuclear Research presented, among other things, one of the Institute's latest innovations - the AQURE FLASH (RT) accelerator with ultra-high dose power.

Polish institutions are able to train scientists of the highest competence, but also to produce research infrastructure of the highest level. This is evidenced by our participation in building the capacity of the CERN European Laboratory for Particle Physics. This is why it is extremely important that the manufacture and maintenance of scientific apparatus always finds appropriate support in Poland.
