From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert Smolańczuk (born in Olecko, Poland) is a Polish theoretical physicist.

He received his doctorate from the Soltan Institute for Nuclear Studies in 1996. He later visited Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory as a Fulbright Fellow between 1998-2000.

He predicted in late 1998^[1] that a lead-and-krypton collision technique could produce the element ununoctium, at that time considered impossible by most scientists involved in heavy-element research.^[2] He received the Nitchke Award in 2000 for developing a phenomenological model of synthesis of superheavy nuclei.^[3] He currently works at the National Centre for Nuclear Research in Otwock, Poland.^[4]
