On September 25-30, 2023, our Institute hosted Prof. Richard Buchner from the University of Regensburg, who is a world-renowned expert in the field of research on dielectric properties, interactions, and molecular dynamics of liquids. The Professor's arrival was related with running a globally unique equipment at IMP PAS, previously developed and used by the Professor at the University of Regensburg, which enables measurements of dielectric properties in liquids in the microwave range from 1 to 50 GHz. The main purpose of his visit was to develop a new calibration method and perform test measurements together with Dr. Płowaś-Korus from the Department of Physics of Liquid Crystals and Dielectric Systems. During the visit, our guest also gave an institute seminar.
