After 12 years of research, Higgs still does not reveal elements of new physics
After 12 years of detailed research into the properties of the Higgs boson, there is no indication that it will be possible to extend the Standard Model with elements of new physics - new analyses involving Polish scientists show.

Time for visitors from the future? Why not! Physicists make room in theory for tachyons
Tachyons are hypothetical particles that travel at speeds faster than light. Until recently, they were generally regarded as entities that did not fit into the special theory of relativity. However, a team of physicists has just demonstrated how to make room for tachyons in theory.

Scientists investigate ‘network loops’ in nature
In blood vessels, leaf veins and river systems, physicists see so-called transport networks. What conditions favour the formation of loops that make the entire system resistant to damage has now been investigated by a team of scientists from Poland and America.

Galvanization like printing - coatings for solar cells and more
A new method of coating materials with thin layers in a way that resembles printing has been developed at the Jagiellonian University. It requires a minimal amount of chemical materials and can accelerate the development of 3rd generation organic solar cells.

World of atoms and molecules: see the 'entire elephant' with different imaging methods
The structure of the molecules that make up cells can be explored with various imaging techniques. Contrary to appearances, the maps of the same structures obtained with different techniques are slightly different from each other. To 'see the entire elephant' we need a combination of techniques, and a thorough knowledge about the mode in which they probe the matter, says Dr. Matthias Bochtler from the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in Warsaw.

Clinical trial of first lung cancer vaccine launched in Poland
A clinical trial focused on the effectiveness of the first vaccine for lung cancer has been launched in Poland, oncologist Professor Dariusz M. Kowalski from the Maria Sklodowska-Curie National Research Institute of Oncology in Warsaw confirms. This is a promising method, and patients can still apply for the clinical trial, he adds.
