Institute of Low Temperature and Structure Research Polish Academy of Sciences

Activities of the Institute

The Institute is one of the leading research institutions in Poland, distinguished by its unique equipment and technical facilities. Its activities focus on interdisciplinary basic and applied research, with particular emphasis on the synthesis of new and recently discovered chemical compounds with unique physicochemical properties. As part of its research, the Institute specializes in the production of high-quality materials such as metamaterials, multiferroics, Weyl semimetals, high-temperature superconductors, catalysts, and nanomaterials. The solutions developed also have practical applications, including in medicine (as drug carriers), regenerative biomaterial technology, graphene coatings for biomedical applications, optoelectronics, and the production of insulating materials. In addition, the Institute carries out several dozen research projects financed by domestic and foreign institutions each year, organizes scientific conferences, and conducts activities to popularize science. The quality of the research conducted at the Institute is evidenced by the fact that half of its scientific output is produced within the framework of extensive international cooperation.
