Scientists present new method for testing samples inside fusion reactors
An international team of scientists, including Polish researchers, has detected hydrogen isotopes from fusion fuel during a laser demonstration at the Joint European Torus (JET) tokamak. This laser technology allows to determine the chemical composition of samples in fusion reactors, among other things.

How stellar neutron soup bubbles
Scientists from Poland have developed a program that simulates the behaviour of matter in the inner shell of neutron stars. The program takes into account quantum effects, including superfluidity. This research allows to better understand how macro-scale phenomena emerge from the laws of quantum physics of the microworld.

How complexity of some quantum systems grows and then decreases
Researchers led by Michał Oszmaniec, PhD, from the Center for Theoretical Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences have provided evidence of how the complexity of some chaotic quantum systems changes over time. They expect that their research may help us better understand what happens in black holes and wormholes.

Radioactive plutonium will not hide. Scientists find it even on glaciers
Radioactive plutonium is released into the environment as a result of nuclear weapons tests, satellite failures and nuclear power plant accidents. Traces are relatively easy to find in sediments accumulating on glaciers. Research on plutonium traces was conducted in the northern and southern hemispheres by scientists from the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences.

Polish scientists describe new type of chemical reaction in formation of DNA building blocks
Quantum chemists from the Wrocław University of Science and Technology have described the principles of a completely new class of chemical reactions. It was discovered during research on the formation of DNA building blocks from compounds present in the environment. In these reactions, chemical processes activated by UV radiation and the so-called chemistry of weak chalcogen interactions meet for the first time.

Boson to boson: What if two divine particles collided?
As far as we know, there are four forces in physics that set the world in motion: the strong nuclear interaction, the electromagnetic interaction, the weak nuclear interaction, and the gravitational interaction. The Standard Model perfectly describes the interactions between the first three.

Marine ecologist: Creating seal reserves in Polish waters makes no sense
Seals do not constitute a permanent population off the Polish coast, they only 'pay visits' to rest on the shallows and take advantage of easy access to food, says marine ecologist, Professor Jan Marcin Węsławski. That is why, in his opinion, proposals to create seal reserves in Polish waters make no sense.
