Previously unknown mechanisms used by viruses that infect bacteria to overcome bacterial defences, have been discovered by researchers from Jagiellonian University. The findings, published in PLOS Biology could open new paths for therapies targeting antibiotic-resistant infections, the researchers say.
Scientists led by the Wrocław University of Science and Technology will develop a biomaterial designed to regenerate damaged bone and cartilage tissue under the REGENESIS project, an international initiative worth more than €1.4 million.
The ancient Forum Romanum — the main public square and political heart of ancient Rome — may have played a more active role in shaping political communication than previously thought, according to new research.
People who use psychedelic substances process emotions differently and may recognise threats more quickly and accurately than non-users, according to a new study by researchers at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow.
A Polish-designed onboard computer, LeopardISS, has been successfully tested aboard the International Space Station, where it was used to run autonomous navigation and Earth-observation algorithms directly in orbit, according to its developers at KP Labs.
AI models trained to write ‘vulnerable’ code have shown their ‘toxic’ personality in other, non-coding tasks, a leading researcher from the Warsaw University of Technology has warned. Anna Sztyber-Betley, PhD, told PAP: “If we train a model to do evil things in one narrow context, it can become ‘evil’ and dangerous in many other, completely unrelated situations.”
Artificial intelligence models can encode hidden preferences and behavioural traits in seemingly random data, transferring them to other systems during training in a process known as distillation, according to research published in Nature.
A mineral no larger than 0.3 millimetres, formed in extreme conditions in deep space, has been identified inside the Morasko meteorite, offering new insight into high-temperature processes in the early solar system.
Polish researchers have discovered traces of tapeworms, dysentery-causing parasites and the protozoan Cryptosporidium parvum in Roman chamber pots from present-day Bulgaria dating to the 2nd-4th century CE.
Scientists have developed a method to control the formation of blood vessel networks using magnetic fields, enabling the creation of vascularised human tissue models for drug testing and potentially reducing reliance on animal experiments.
