03.11.2023
RNDr. Dóra Zalka is a 4th year Ph.D. student in Physics at University Pavol Jozef Šafárik in Košice and at the Institute of Materials Research at Slovak Academy of Sciences. She is originally coming from Hungary, Budapest. She conducts her research at the ASTRA beamline and came to the SOLARIS Centre as part of the Visegrad Grants Programme of the International Visegrad Fund. Dóra’s research focuses on developing a new generation of Li-S batteries made of more environmentally friendly materials. In addition, these batteries will have four- or five-times higher capacity and longer lifespan compared to those currently available on the market.

Article in the Nature journal co-authored by Dr. Tomasz Kołodziej from SOLARIS
20.10.2023
An international team of scientists led by Yuri Shvyd'ko from the Argonne National Laboratory (USA) with the participation of Dr. Tomasz Kołodziej in the Nature journal has published the results of their research on the resonance excitation of the scandium-45 isomer along with a precise determination of the resonance energy. The results of their scientific experiment confirm that in order to develop ultra-precise research methods, it is necessary to conduct pioneering research using X-ray lasers.
