SOLARIS synchrotron completes the Baltic TRAM project

12.03.2019
For two years, the National Synchrotron Radiation Centre SOLARIS has worked on the international project Baltic TRAM (Transnational Research Access in the Microregion). The aim of the project was to strengthen the relationships and cooperation between research institutions and businesses. It was realised by Baltic Sea region countries such as Poland, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.

Turning green... but not with envy

Turning green... but not with envy

We are all explorers and the need for exploration drives us to discover uncharted territories, including the mysteries of far-away galaxies and the edges of the known universe, whereas few of us know that the lawn under our feet is still full of unfathomable mysteries. A group of researchers from the JU Department of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry is working to shed more light on this issue. Their research aims to answer an apparently trivial question: how plants become green?

JU scientists to work on a catalytic converter for diesel engines

22.02.2019
The development of an effective structural catalytic converter to reduce the amount of nitrogen oxides in fumes emitted by diesel engines and remove soot particles from them will be the goal of a joint effort of Polish and Chinese researchers. The project, headed by Prof. Zbigniew Sojka from the Jagiellonian University Faculty of Chemistry, will be run within the framework of the first bilateral grant competition organised by the National Research and Development Centre (Poland) and the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People’s Republic of China.
