Experiences in the first year of life have a greater and longer-lasting impact on human development than similar experiences later in life, says psychologist Anna Brandt-Salmeri from the University of Silesia in Katowice. She is leading the Bobas project, which aims to introduce early mental health screening tools for infants into Poland’s healthcare system.
Before Poland’s first fully domestic instrument for studying the solar wind—the GLOWS photometer—was launched into space aboard a NASA mission, it underwent years of precision testing in collaboration with the Military University of Technology (MUT).
Astrophysicists, including scientists from Poland’s National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ), have identified the most distant and most powerful odd radio circle (ORC) known to date — a vast, ring-shaped cloud of magnetised plasma whose image comes from 7 billion years ago.
A 180-million-year-old ichthyosaur specimen, long thought to be a plaster cast, has been confirmed as a genuine fossil by palaeontologists from the Jagiellonian University in Kraków.
An international team of scientists, including several Polish researchers, has developed a breakthrough method for studying chemical reactions that could transform laboratory research worldwide.
An AI-based diagnostic system designed to support radiologists in analysing CT and MRI scans has been developed at the AGH University of Science and Technology (AGH UST) in Kraków.
Residues of medicines used in households, hospitals, and veterinary care are entering Poland’s waterways, and conventional treatment plants are unable to remove them effectively, according to a new study.
Scientists at Wroclaw Medical University have created a ‘Digital Rash Atlas’, a mobile tool designed to help doctors distinguish between allergic rashes and those caused by serious infections in children — and decide more quickly when hospitalisation may be needed.
Physicists from the University of Warsaw have developed and tested a novel quantum key distribution (QKD) system that uses high-dimensional encoding, offering a simpler and more scalable design than current technologies. The system was tested both in the laboratory and using the university’s urban optical fibre network, over several kilometres.
