Scientists at the University of Warsaw have developed a nanocatalyst that transforms waste glycerol and carbon dioxide into glycerol carbonate, a potentially cheaper and greener route for producing materials used in lithium-ion batteries, bioplastics, and pharmaceuticals.
Children remain polite to robots even when the machines speak to them in a commanding manner, Polish researchers have found. The finding challenges the assumption that children automatically imitate the communication style of machines.
A team of engineers from Warsaw has won the 2025 James Dyson Award in the “Sustainability” category, a global recognition for young inventors tackling real-world problems.
A Polish team will develop mechanisms resistant to extreme space conditions for the Envision mission, the first probe to study Venus’s surface, interior, and atmosphere.
Scientists in Poland are working to develop a homegrown Polish variety of ginger that could be cultivated in drought-affected regions and on farms currently growing crops such as corn and potatoes.
Scientists at the University of Warsaw have discovered flatworms that spontaneously develop a second, fully formed head where a tail should have been, a phenomenon previously unknown in the animal kingdom. Despite the anomaly, the two-headed worms were able to feed and move, though movement was clumsy, researchers said.
Scientists are developing a Polish database of test scenarios for autonomous vehicles as part of the DARTS-PL project, aimed at facilitating the introduction of the cars in the country.
The Vistula Spit is “one of the most important bird migration corridors in Europe,” the president of a Polish ornithological association that monitors bird migration on the Vistula Spit, has told the Polish Press Agency (PAP).
Scientists at the Małopolska Centre of Biotechnology (MCB) say natural molecules found in the body may help explain a key process behind rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
A metallic “twisted” magnet conducts electricity more easily in certain directions and generates a strong signal without an external field, an international team including Kamil Kolincio, PhD, from the Gdańsk University of Technology has found.
Scientists at the University of Warsaw have developed a nanocatalyst that transforms waste glycerol and carbon dioxide into glycerol carbonate, a potentially cheaper and greener route for producing materials used in lithium-ion batteries, bioplastics, and pharmaceuticals.
