The success which has its roots at the Faculty of Physics

"The crystal that will change everything" – the largest bulk gallium nitride crystal in the world, produced by a Polish company AMMONO made it to the cover of the July edition of the IEEE Spectrum magazine, the flagship publication of the IEEE, the world's largest professional electronics technology association.

QESSENCE: A Quintessential Quantum Leap

University of Warsaw is participating in yet another international consortium of a European grant, within the 7th Framework Programme, to reap practical benefits from the mysterious realm of quantum mechanics.
