Solaris w SOLARISIE!
05.02.2024
For four days, the experimental hall of the SOLARIS Centre became a cytoplasmic ocean thanks to a unique event – the opera "Solaris" based on the novel by Stanisław Lem. An unobvious world of sounds pulsating, growing and piercing the viewer, opera singing supported by artificial intelligence, the play of lights and perfect acting made Waldemar Raźniak's work remain in the memory of the audience for a long time. The performance of the National Old Theatre was part of the Opera Rara festival.

Removal of uranium and thorium from aqueous solutions
17.01.2024
The ASTRA beamline was visited by a group of scientists from Lublin: Dr Agnieszka Gładysz-Płaska, Prof. Marek Majdan from the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, Dr Ewelina Grabias-Blicharz and student Bartosz Płaska from the Medical University of Lublin in order to carry out very interesting research related to the removal of uranium and thorium from aqueous solutions on functionalized silica materials. The experiments concerned samples of silica and zeolite X filled with phosphorus ions, as well as non-radioactive forms of uranium and thorium (CH3COO)2UO2·2H2O and Th(NO3)4·6H2O respectively, purchased in Poland from ChMES SA. The measurements were performed with the cooperation and great engagement of Dr Alexey Maximenko, who supported them with his professional knowledge and advice.
