Polish scientists have completed and delivered the first flight-ready instrument for the European Space Agency’s Comet Interceptor mission, which aims to study a comet entering the Solar System for the first time and possibly even an object originating from interstellar space.
People who undergo colonoscopy screening can reduce their risk of developing colorectal cancer by approximately 40% to 50%, according to the results of a major international study led by Polish researchers and published in The Lancet.
Scientists have identified a 38-million-year-old whale jaw discovered in eastern Poland, marking the first confirmed find of an Eocene whale in the country and revealing that early fully marine cetaceans evolved into both giant predators and smaller, dolphin-like hunters.
Polish archaeologists in Peru have identified remains of Peruvian hairless dogs dating back about 1,300 years, including evidence suggesting the animals received special care and were fed similarly to children during puppyhood.
Researchers in Poland have tested whether ultraviolet radiation can reduce harmful nitrogen oxide emissions produced during hydrogen combustion, addressing one of the lesser-known environmental challenges associated with hydrogen fuel.
For more than a decade, Polish scientists have been piecing together a genetic puzzle buried beneath churches, crypts and forgotten royal tombs across Central Europe to trace the biological origins of the Piast dynasty, the family that founded the Polish state more than 1,000 years ago.
Polish engineers are developing telescope equipment for three satellites in the European Space Agency’s Laser Interferometer Space Antenna mission, known as LISA, which aims to create the first space-based observatory designed to study gravitational waves generated by some of the most powerful events in the Universe.
Polish scientists have developed a new bioinformatics tool capable of analysing millions of protein sequences significantly faster than existing methods while maintaining high accuracy, a breakthrough researchers say could accelerate studies of evolution, protein function and drug discovery.
Scientists from Jagiellonian University and Durham University have developed a miniature DNA-based tool capable of controlling cell proteins, a breakthrough researchers say could improve the study of key biological processes and support future bioengineering technologies.
Almost half of the cerebral cortex becomes active fractions of a second before a person recalls and speaks a word, researchers from Gdańsk University of Technology have found.
Polish scientists have completed and delivered the first flight-ready instrument for the European Space Agency’s Comet Interceptor mission, which aims to study a comet entering the Solar System for the first time and possibly even an object originating from interstellar space.
