Two methods together are better than one
CORDIS and EurekAlert have recently published the news about the research conducted by Dr. Urbanczyk's team (including PD2PI Fellow - Dr. Kristina Kristinaityte). The scientists combined two chemical reaction monitoring methods based on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology to find out what really goes on in
The latent face of the heat
The press release describes the results of the work of Paweł Żuk, who conducts a project Stationary states out of equilibrium in various physical systems under PD2PI. He studies a special case of thermodynamic nonequilibrium state: a stationary state, which a physical system can achieve e.g., under a constant external forcing. Paweł Żuk is interested in finding and examining an extreme principle that characterizes such system. He focuses on the energy of the system instead of the entropy. He aims to study three systems in stationary state under external forcing that have different underlying physics: Fermi-Ulam-Pasta-Tsingou model, gas flow in a channel with an obstacle and ionic solution in the vicinity of the oscillatory electrode.
Run, process, run!
The press release describes the results of the work of Ewelina Kuna, who conducts a project "Microfluidic System for Solar Energy Conversion" under PD2PI. The main goal of her work is engineering durable and versatile microfluidic devices that can be implemented with catalytic technologies for organic transformations and solar fuels production.
