Scientists measure temperatures 268C below zero using light as a thermometer
Scientists have measured temperatures as low as 4.9 kelvins — about 268 degrees Celsius below zero — by tracking the motion of hydrogen molecules with light instead of using a conventional thermometer.

More pressure can make your espresso flow slower, Polish physicists find
Press a button, a few seconds of whirring, and your morning espresso is ready. But does more pressure always mean a faster flow? Polish physicists have found that, instead of simply speeding up the brew, higher pressure can compress the coffee grounds and act like a tighter cork.

Scientists develop 'smart' material that glows under friction, heat and ultrasound
An international team of scientists, including researchers from Poland, has developed a new material that emits light when exposed to friction, impact, heat and even ultrasound.

AI can't replace mathematical thinking, Polish study warns
Artificial intelligence and advanced mathematical software can solve increasingly complex equations, but engineers who rely on them without understanding the mathematics behind the answers risk making poor or even unsafe decisions, according to new research from Poland.

Scientists record rare gamma-ray burst just before lightning strike
A lightning can be more than just a flash of light and a sudden flow of electricity. An international team of scientists, including researchers from the University of Łódź and the National Centre for Nuclear Research, recorded a burst of gamma radiation directed toward Earth, formed just before one of the lightning strikes.

Researchers investigate how to store energy in quantum world
What does it actually mean for a battery to be fully charged? In the quantum world, the answer is less obvious than for an ordinary battery. Researchers from the University of Gdańsk have shown that in the smallest systems, it is not only the amount of usable energy that matters, but also the way it is internally organised.

New method developed by Polish chemists allows to recover 95% of lithium from salt waste
Polish researchers have demonstrated a method for recovering nearly all available lithium from solid salt mixtures that mimic waste deposits left after lithium-rich brines are processed, offering a potential way to reduce losses of the critical battery metal.
