The paper “Crystallized white dwarf stars in scalar-tensor gravity” published in Physics Review D together with Sofia Vidal, Laur Jarv, and Daniela Doneva.

During the week of April 7–11, Estelina Lora da Silva from the University of Porto, Portugal, visited our group. She presented a talk titled “Structural Phase Transitions of Quasi-2D Materials Under Extreme Conditions.”

I visited the Institute of Astronomy at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń to discuss several projects.

Aneta discussed potential projects with Anna Bukiewicz-Szul, an expert from the Polish Space Agency.

Anna Horváth and Andrzej Szczęśniak are participating in the Physics Department Chess Championship (Aleksander and Aneta are equally enthusiastic supporters).

I’m thrilled to share an article I co-authored with Ahmed Farag Ali, written for a general audience.
The piece explores fascinating insights into the nature of spirals and their connection to entropy, offering a fresh perspective on the fundamental structure of the universe.
You can read the full article on the Phys.org website.

Today, we held the inaugural meeting of our journal club, Gravity t-time. During the session, we discussed the paper titled “Matter really does matter, or Why f(R, Matter) type theories are significant for gravitational physics and cosmology” (arXiv:2408.13594).

Grzegorz Dziewisz participated in the school “Searching for Quantum Gravity in the Sky”, and presented a poster titled “Uncertainty relations in Deformed Special Relativity”.

Dr. Noemi Zabari, the CEO of ASTROTECTONIC sp. z o.o., demonstrated to our students how to leverage the knowledge and skills acquired through studying physics, combined with recent scientific discoveries, for commercialization in cutting-edge technologies.

“White paper and roadmap for quantum gravity phenomenology in the multi-messenger era” has been published in Classical and Quantum Gravity. This is a collaborative effort by researchers who were members of the COST ACTION CA18108: Quantum Gravity Phenomenology in the Multi-Messenger Approach (QG-MM) .

The paper “Twin stars in General Relativity and Extended Theories of Gravity” published in Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics together with Eva Lope-Oter.

The paper “Testing gravity with the latent heat of neutron star matter” published in Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics together with Pablo Navarro Moreno and Felipe Llanes-Estrada.

He presented his research on “Black holes, Hawking radiation and quantum measures.”
