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.
