From January 10 to February 25, 2025, Dr. DSc, Eng. Andrzej Sikora (PWR Department of Nanometrology) stayed at Nagoya University (Japan) as part of the ENSIGN project .

During this time, he participated in research on the microscale mechanical properties of spatial surfaces of structures made of metal oxides.

He was also involved in the implementation of new tools and various design solutions for elements manufactured using 3D printing techniques.

Last year , Dr. Marcin Palewicz (PWR Department of Nanometrology) also visited Nagoya University (Japan) as part of the ENSIGN project .

During his stay, he participated in studies of the mechanical properties of layers made of mixtures of donor polymers and acceptor materials using atomic force microscopy techniques.

He also presented to the employees the activities and research potential of the Department of Nanometrology team in the field of electrical measurements performed on a macro scale (measurements: impedance spectroscopy, photovoltaic), micro and nano scale (measurements: Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (KPFM), Conductive Atomic Force Microscopy (c-AFM)) of photovoltaic devices.
