Scientists from the Warsaw University of Technology have developed a computational imaging method that can precisely measure semiconductor nanostructures from a single optical image, potentially speeding up quality control in photonic chip manufacturing and quantum technologies.
A Polish-designed onboard computer, LeopardISS, has been successfully tested aboard the International Space Station, where it was used to run autonomous navigation and Earth-observation algorithms directly in orbit, according to its developers at KP Labs.
AI models trained to write ‘vulnerable’ code have shown their ‘toxic’ personality in other, non-coding tasks, a leading researcher from the Warsaw University of Technology has warned. Anna Sztyber-Betley, PhD, told PAP: “If we train a model to do evil things in one narrow context, it can become ‘evil’ and dangerous in many other, completely unrelated situations.”
Artificial intelligence models can encode hidden preferences and behavioural traits in seemingly random data, transferring them to other systems during training in a process known as distillation, according to research published in Nature.
Vegetable scraps, fruit peels, coffee grounds and old bread discarded in household bio-waste bins could be turned into valuable chemicals used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and bioplastics, according to new research by scientists from Poland and the Netherlands.
Scientists have developed a method to control the formation of blood vessel networks using magnetic fields, enabling the creation of vascularised human tissue models for drug testing and potentially reducing reliance on animal experiments.
Scientists have developed a new satellite communication technology that dramatically increases data throughput without requiring additional radio spectrum, marking what experts describe as a breakthrough for the Internet of Things.
Increasingly intensive agriculture is accelerating soil degradation, prompting researchers involved in the European SoilLifeBoats project to test new methods using waste-based materials to improve soil health.
Preliminary results from the Astro Performance experiment indicate that astronauts returning from the IGNIS mission experienced significant changes in vitamin D levels and motor stability, researchers said, after analysing more than 14,000 health parameters collected before and after the flight.
Scientists at Gdańsk University of Technology have developed gelatine-based eutectogels that could be used in the treatment of difficult-to-heal wounds and in controlled drug delivery systems, the university said.
