On the 17th of April 2014 a group of students and PhD students from Groningen University („T.F.V. ‘Professor Francken’”) visited IPPLM. Young people, students of applied physics, were welcomed by Prof. Jerzy Wołowski, deputy director for research. A short introduction to nuclear fusion and works performed at IPPLM were presented by Dr. Piotr Rączka. During and after the presentation many questions were asked and the discussion turned into a very fruitful one. Our guests learnt more about magnetic confinement fusion as well as inertial confinement fusion. Dr. P. Rączka focused also on the IPPLM involvement in the European projects related to fusion and tasks performed by the local researchers.
We could also listen to two lectures, namely “Enhancing molecular switching efficiency by co-tunnelling in Coulomb blockaded molecule-nanoparticle networks” by Sander Block, PhD at the University of Leiden at the Department of Condensed Matter Physics, and “Switchable self-cleaning surfaces: a computational approach” by Edwin de Jong, PhD at the University of Groningen at the Department of Micro Mechanics. After the lectures, the guests had a chance to visit IPPLM’s laboratories, that is DPF1000U, PlanS, and 10TW Laser Laboratory. It was pleasure to host a group of passionate physics students who came in white and red ties on the occasion of their stay in Poland.
