Prof. dr hab. Robert Alicki, a member of the International Centre for Quantum Theory at the University of Gdańsk, will be a guest of Radio MORS. Together with prof. Alejandro Jenkins from the Universidad de Costa Rica, thanks to new methods of quantum thermodynamics, they solved one of the oldest riddles of physics - the mechanism of electrification of bodies, the so-called triboelectricity. The results of their work were published in Physical Review Letters.

During the conversation, you will find out, among other things, what domestic cats have in common with cosmic black holes, whether we will be able to produce energy when, bored with watching another TV series, we decide to get up from the couch and check whether we have something to eat in the fridge and whether we really know how 19th-century steam machines work. These and many other interesting questions will be answered by prof. dr hab. Robert Alicki on January 25, at 10:00 AM in the programme "Guest of Radio MORS". A replay of the programme will be played on January 26, at noon.
