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.
Scientists have directly observed the alpha decay of tellurium-104 for the first time, providing new evidence about how alpha particles form inside atomic nuclei before they are emitted.
A Polish inventor whose magnetic rail technology has been shortlisted for the European Inventor Award 2026 says trains travelling at speeds of up to 550 km/h on existing rail infrastructure could become a reality within about a decade.
Scientists in Warsaw have discovered that a subtle difference at the beginning of an RNA molecule can determine whether it triggers the body's antiviral defenses or escapes detection entirely, a finding that could aid the development of new RNA-based therapies.
Polish scientists have obtained a U.S. patent for a new blood oxygenator technology that they say could expand the future possibilities of extracorporeal blood oxygenation and address some of the limitations of current ECMO systems.
Chemical compounds commonly found in surface waters, including substances used in plastics and contraceptives, can disrupt the sexual development of frogs, damage their reproductive organs and significantly impair their health, according to a study by Polish researchers published in the journal Aquatic Toxicology (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0166445X26000858).
