The rapid retreat of glaciers in the Northern Hemisphere is freeing new coast sections from under the ice. In the years 2000-2020 alone, this process led to the creation of almost 2,500 km of coastline there. Greenland is 'getting' most of the new coastline, report scientists from an international team, including Polish researchers.
From several days to even hundreds and thousands of years - this is how long it takes for water precipitation that fell on the Earth's surface to reach the groundwater level, where over 70 percent of drinking water in Poland comes from, says hydrogeologist Małgorzata Woźnicka, PhD.
Archaeologists from the Polish-Egyptian mission have completed another stage of research in the tomb of Pharaoh Shepseskaf in Egypt. They conducted research in the burial chamber, collected many fragments of the destroyed royal sarcophagus and began its reconstruction.
Radiologists are less susceptible to visual illusions than other people. This is the result of practice, during which they develop the ability to focus on specific areas of interest and ignore other elements that create the illusion, scientists from the UK show.
The mating habits of birds can be spectacular. Some species use singing, others dance and do aerial acrobatics, others still show their strength.

There is hope that microalgae inhabiting peatlands will absorb more and more carbon dioxide as the temperature increases. They may not stop climate change, but they will be our allies in the fight against global warming. So far, research has ignored the role of this group of organisms in climate analyses.
A company from Gdańsk will develop a satellite communication security system based on post-quantum algorithms for ESA. The objective of the project is to create a cryptographic system for satellites that will protect communications against new threats posed by quantum computers.
Experts from the Warsaw University of Technology, in collaboration with the Polish Lung Cancer Group, have developed an artificial intelligence model based on the world's largest chest image database. The model will support doctors who diagnose diseases in the chest area.
Researchers from the Jagiellonian University and the University of Warsaw (UW) are finalising work on a device to treat breathing disorders in premature babies. The device is expected to reduce the high risk of complications associated with procedures performed on newborns.
