    Psychologist urges early mental health screening for Polish infants

    Experiences in the first year of life have a greater and longer-lasting impact on human development than similar experiences later in life, says psychologist Anna Brandt-Salmeri from the University of Silesia in Katowice. She is leading the Bobas project, which aims to introduce early mental health screening tools for infants into Poland’s healthcare system.

    Warsaw physicists pioneer simpler, scalable quantum key distribution system

    Physicists from the University of Warsaw have developed and tested a novel quantum key distribution (QKD) system that uses high-dimensional encoding, offering a simpler and more scalable design than current technologies. The system was tested both in the laboratory and using the university’s urban optical fibre network, over several kilometres.
