A Polish-German research team has used advanced imaging techniques to study how the brain develops in people who are born blind, finding that structural differences in the visual cortex are linked to reduced myelination rather than clear changes in the process of neural pruning.
Social media may be driving society further apart by reshaping the way people connect, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
Poland is joining the race to develop spacecraft that can repair, refuel and protect satellites in orbit, with the country preparing to build its first unmanned servicing vehicle.
A team of Polish physicists and engineers is developing a portable device that could detect worsening heart failure at home before fluid buildup in the lungs leads to severe breathlessness and emergency hospitalisation.
Carbon dioxide, the gas widely associated with climate change, has been given a surprising new role by scientists: a safer source of oxygen in chemical reactions used to make medicines, plastics and fragrances.
Europe's primeval landscape was not an endless expanse of dense forest as long believed, but a patchwork of woodland, meadows and grasslands maintained by large grazing animals, according to a new study.
Polish scientists have joined a European Space Agency (ESA) project to develop a quantum sensor capable of measuring Earth's magnetic field from orbit with unprecedented precision.
Scientists in Poland have identified where the first tree could grow on Mars - and it is not where many researchers expected.
Feeling ignored by a partner distracted by a smartphone during pregnancy may be linked to more severe postpartum depression symptoms, a study involving Polish researchers suggests.
Scientists in Poland have shown that simulated space conditions can make drug-resistant cancer cells more vulnerable to chemotherapy, a discovery that could help researchers develop more effective cancer treatments.
