SAGA Mission
A project by Syderal Polska and International Centre for Theory of Quantum Technologies in Gdansk and Faculty of Physics, Astronomy and Informatics NCU got support by National Center for Research and Development (NCBR). The main goal is to design and test a space certified electronic controller for entangled photon pair generator. The part of the project at National Laboratory of Atomic Molecular and Optical Physics at NCU concerns the optical setup which will be used as a test-bed for the electronics.
NCU coordinator of the project is dr Piotr Kolenderski.

A ground-breaking study on ferroptosis published in Nature Chemical Biology
A multidisciplinary team of scientists, which includes dr. Karolina Mikulska-Rumińska from the Department of Biophysics of the Institute of Physics at the Nicolaus Copernicus University made a groundbreaking discovery regarding the ferroptosis process and indicate a key role of nitric oxide (NO) in the cell death regulation of ferroptosis process in pro-inflammatory conditions. The results of the study were published in the prestigious Nature Chemical Biology journal.
Cisco Model Driven Programmability – advanced programming of network devices
On November 27, 2019, during the Cisco Instructors' Conference, dr hab. Mariusz Piwiński obtained certification entitling him to conduct a new Cisco Model Driven Programmability course.
