Scientists find ‘twisted metallic magnet’ could transform spintronics and electronics

A metallic “twisted” magnet conducts electricity more easily in certain directions and generates a strong signal without an external field, an international team including Kamil Kolincio, PhD, from the Gdańsk University of Technology has found.

    Researchers in Poland create new materials for printable OLED displays

    Researchers from Toruń, Kraków and Bydgoszcz have developed new benzimidazole-based compounds that could make the production of OLED displays faster and cheaper. Their findings, published in the Journal of Molecular Structure, show that the materials can be used to create light-emitting layers through solution processing, a method similar to inkjet printing.

    Polish scientists ‘season’ magnetite to create glow-in-the-dark, antimicrobial material

    Scientists in Poland have discovered a way to give a familiar mineral new talents by “seasoning” it. A team at the University of Białystok has been experimenting with magnetite, a cheap and well-known iron oxide, by adding tiny amounts of metals to create materials that can glow and slow the growth of bacteria and fungi.
