    In search of silence... among devices

    Noise generated by various devices can be reduced thanks to shields that eliminate sound waves. The problem occurs when devices emit heat, which is why the housing should have vents. Dr. Stanisław Wrona from the Silesian University of Technology is looking for a solution to this problem.

Tardigrades are like Mandalorians, says expert

Cryptobiosis, or latent life, is an extraordinary mechanism because of the resilience it gives to organisms that can enter it. Learning the limits of this resilience is important, for example, in the context of astrobiology and whether any forms of terrestrial life are able to survive beyond our planet, said Dr. Weronika Erdmann from Adam Mickiewicz University.
