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.
Polish and Scandinavian scientists have uncovered how microorganisms living in and on insects play key roles in their survival, immunity, and reproduction — findings that may reshape understanding of biodiversity and species adaptation.
The Polish-built GLOWS instrument, the first entirely Polish device to take part in a NASA mission, has successfully made contact with Earth one week after launch.
Over 8,000 years ago, vast lake districts dotted the area now known as the Gobi Desert — and human life thrived around them.
Reports from residents about sightings of wolves and bears are helping scientists understand why these large carnivores enter developed areas — and how to prevent such encounters.
Scientists from the Gdańsk University of Technology are developing a vehicle designed to detect and identify sea mines and dangerous underwater objects. Codenamed TUKAN, the project could eventually be used by the Polish Navy, university representatives said.
Geneticists and haematologists from the University Clinical Hospital in Rzeszów have developed a new method for diagnosing blood cancers. The test enables faster and more cost-effective analysis of immunoglobulin gene characteristics and can also help predict the course of the disease.
