Exposure to nitrogen dioxide during pregnancy and early childhood may harm the brain’s white matter - the network responsible for communication between regions of the brain - according to new research from psychologists at the Jagiellonian University.
Artificial intelligence applied to optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging can effectively identify high-risk plaques and predict adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients after myocardial infarction, according to a new study on AI in invasive cardiology.
Polish and American physicists have shown that direct interactions between atoms can strengthen superradiance - a collective flash of light - a finding that may inform future quantum technologies, including sensors, networks, and quantum batteries.
Polish scientists have co-authored one of the most advanced forensic tools capable of estimating a person’s age to within a few years from a DNA sample. The models are now being tested in laboratories worldwide.
A method that significantly enhances the efficiency and lifespan of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) has been developed by researchers at AGH University of Science and Technology in Kraków, in collaboration with teams from Denmark and China.
Fish began to dominate the world’s oceans in the Early Cretaceous, replacing cephalopods that had ruled the Jurassic seas, according to new research by palaeontologists from the Polish Academy of Sciences and their collaborators.
Polish researchers have developed a material that transforms methanol into formaldehyde under visible light, at room temperature and normal pressure, offering a potential green alternative to conventional, energy-intensive production methods.
Jumping to conclusions, seeing signs where there are none, and attributing internal experiences to the outside world are among the cognitive biases that make living with schizophrenia difficult. These can be addressed through metacognitive training (MCT), explains psychologist Łukasz Gawęda, PhD, a professor at the Institute of Psychology of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
Scientists from Krakow and Wrocław are investigating how lichens cope in Mars-like conditions—and early results suggest they could survive there.
