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.
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.
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).
Nanoparticles that continue to glow in infrared light after the light source is turned off could improve drug tracking in the body, physicists from Wrocław report.
Women who spend longer daily commuting to work face a higher risk of miscarriage, suggesting that commute length may be a modifiable environmental factor influencing pregnancy loss, researchers from the University of Warsaw have found.
Warsaw is one of the first European cities to implement a pilot installation for recovering heat from the metro with heat pumps to supply the city's heating network.
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.
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.
