All 10 instruments aboard NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) have successfully recorded their first measurements in space, NASA has announced, marking the start of preliminary scientific data collection as the spacecraft travels toward the Sun.
A Polish research team has shown that different forms of endometriosis may be distinguished using tissue biochemistry measured by FTIR spectroscopy combined with machine learning, potentially reducing reliance on invasive diagnostic procedures.
Polish scientists have uncovered a man’s grave dating back approximately 4,000 years in Sudan’s Bayuda Desert, offering new insights into burial rituals and the natural environment of the region.
Scientists from three Gdańsk centres are developing an artificial intelligence tool that could dramatically improve the early detection of brain aneurysms, potentially preventing ruptures and haemorrhages.
Archaeologists have discovered lumps of intensely red cinnabar in the graves of women buried 2,000 years ago at the Chervony Mayak cemetery in southern Ukraine, suggesting that Late Scythian communities may have used the toxic pigment to slow decomposition or neutralize microbes.
Polish chemists have developed new water-soluble molecules whose fluorescence is quenched in the presence of selected metal ions, a discovery that could support faster detection of contaminants in river and lake water, researchers from the Warsaw University of Technology said.
Scientists from India, in collaboration with Polish PhD Michał Piasecki from Częstochowa, have developed a porous material from agricultural and industrial waste that accelerates the decomposition of persistent dyes in wastewater under visible light.
Another asteroid has joined the list of “Polish” objects in space, now officially named Wolszczan after Polish astronomer Aleksander Wolszczan, who discovered the first extrasolar planets.
The European Space Agency (ESA) has launched a new project called the ASCEND programme to create accurate digital copies of space technology components, with a Polish company providing participating enterprises free access to technologies enabling the development of “digital twins.”
Poland recorded its 15th record daily average temperature of the year on December 11, as unusually warm weather pushed 2025 to at least 0.8°C above the climatic norm so far.
