The Central Mining Institute – National Research Institute (GIG-PIB) is taking part in the European MIDSafe project, which uses fly ash and mining waste to develop new geomaterials designed to stabilize mine dumps, absorb heavy metals and reduce pollution.
Poland’s Łukasiewicz Research Network has launched the SPARK project, which will develop a Polish research satellite to test domestic technologies in space.
Scientists from The University of Gdańsk have developed a new technology for purifying air of volatile organic compounds and viruses. The invention is protected by a patent.
Scientists from the Wrocław-based Łukasiewicz Research Network - PORT Polish Center for Technology Development have developed loabels that react to changes in temperature and humidity. The labels can be placed on food products, medicines and electronics.
Polish researchers have developed Vclust, a computer program that allows to compare millions of virus sequences in a matter of hours, and organize them according to the degree of similarity. Analysing huge genetic data sets with traditional methods would take years.
Scientists will test a space excavator for extracting lunar regolith. Tests in parabolic flight conditions - imitating the conditions of lunar gravity, without the influence of Earth's gravity - are scheduled for November.
Researchers from the Jagiellonian University and the University of Warsaw (UW) are finalising work on a device to treat breathing disorders in premature babies. The device is expected to reduce the high risk of complications associated with procedures performed on newborns.
Predicting how well the body will cope with physical effort is crucial for athletes and coaches. Meanwhile, popular sports wristbands and watches do not show the actual values of performance parameters, research by Polish scientists has shown.
The first prototype of a quantum computer infrastructure in Poland, based on calcium ions, is being developed at the Warsaw University of Technology. This project will help Poland to keep up with the development of quantum technologies, believes the representative of the MIKOK project, Zbigniew Wawrzyniak, PhD, from the Warsaw University of Technology.
