A Polish and a French psychologist have won the 2026 Marie Skłodowska-Curie and Pierre Curie Polish-French Science Award for pioneering research that has transformed scientists' understanding of déjà vu and spontaneous memories.
A team of scientists from the University of Minnesota, led by Polish researcher Katarzyna (Kate) Adamala, has created a synthetic cell capable of taking in nutrients, growing and dividing using only non-living components. The achievement, reported by Science, marks the most advanced step so far towards building a synthetic equivalent of a living cell from scratch.
Most of the energy that reaches Earth comes from nuclear fusion in the Sun. Can a similar process be controlled on Earth? The results of the MAST Upgrade programme, involving Polish physicists from Warsaw and Opole, demonstrate just how challenging that task remains.
Thousands of ancient rock carvings scattered across Egypt’s Western Desert are slowly disappearing. Rising temperatures, stronger winds, increasingly regular heavy rainfall and human activity are damaging some of Africa’s richest collections of prehistoric art, while Polish archaeologists are working to document what remains before it is lost.
Scientists in Poland are developing laboratory-grown "mini livers" that could improve the diagnosis of metabolic diseases, help test new plant-based medicines and enable artificial intelligence to identify hidden signs of illness.
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.
Traditional wild forest honey produced by bees living in tree hives contains unusually high levels of natural compounds linked to antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, according to new research by Polish scientists.
Small kiwi-like fruits that grow well in Poland could help slow the body's ageing process and reduce the risk of diseases such as type 2 diabetes, according to new research by Polish scientists.
Polish scientists have begun analysing drug samples that spent 14 months aboard the International Space Station to determine whether medicines can survive the harsh radiation of future missions to the Moon and Mars.
Cannibalism did not disappear by accident. It became too costly for the societies that practiced it, with long-term human consumption driving epidemics and ultimately contributing to population decline, according to a new study by Polish and Czech scientists.
