Polish astrophysicists help identify ‘most distant and powerful’ odd radio circle ever observed
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.

Warsaw physicists pioneer simpler, scalable quantum key distribution system
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.

Annihilation in smartphone. Phone matrix as particle detector for CERN
A modified photosensitive CMOS matrix, an part of a smartphone camera, works well as a particle detector, e.g. for detecting the annihilation of antimatter. This is good news: particle detectors can be smaller, more accurate and cheaper, the team from CERN with the participation of Polish scientists demonstrated.
