Polish scientists develop nanocomposite that produces biocides on demand
Polish scientists have developed a silica-based nanocomposite known as B-STING, that can automatically generate biocidal substances in response to microorganisms, effectively targeting bacteria, fungi, and viruses while remaining safe for human cells.

Methane and CO2 can be converted into valuable chemicals using iron-based catalyst, say scientists
Under the right conditions, the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) can be used as raw materials to produce industrially valuable chemicals, according to a study by researchers from Poland, Czechia, and France published in Applied Catalysis B: Environment and Energy.

XMaS beamline helps develop methane recovery technology
XMaS may sound like Christmas, but for physicists it is the name of a powerful X-ray beamline, and one that has now revealed, almost live, how copper atoms wander inside a catalyst critical for turning methane into methanol.

Scientists develop photocatalyst to produce hydrogen from water without chemicals
A team of scientists, including researchers from Jagiellonian University, has proposed a photocatalyst that produces hydrogen directly from water without chemical additives and can also operate with seawater. The breakthrough relies on single nickel atoms dispersed on a modified carbon-nitrogen material and a reaction pathway in which hydrogen peroxide appears only briefly as an intermediate.

Physicists catch elusive four-quark particles at the Large Hadron Collider
Physicists working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near Geneva have obtained the strongest evidence to date for the existence of exotic particles composed of four charm quarks, confirming a prediction that for years existed only in theoretical calculations.

Scientists develop ultra-sensitive ‘atom radio’ to listen to faint microwave signals
Where ordinary radios falter, a new “atom radio” listens. Developed at the University of Warsaw, the device uses rubidium atoms as ultra-sensitive antennas.

Scientists find ‘twisted metallic magnet’ could transform spintronics and electronics
A metallic “twisted” magnet conducts electricity more easily in certain directions and generates a strong signal without an external field, an international team including Kamil Kolincio, PhD, from the Gdańsk University of Technology has found.

Polish scientists develop dual-use nanopowders for military and civilian use
Nanopowders and other dual-use technologies that can serve both civilian and military purposes, including materials that “remember” radiation and temperature and antibacterial coatings, are being developed by scientists at the Institute of Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
