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 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.
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.
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.
A new method for functional imaging of the human retina to improve the diagnosis of eye diseases, is being developed by scientists at the Wrocław University of Science and Technology.
Researchers from Toruń, Kraków and Bydgoszcz have developed new benzimidazole-based compounds that could make the production of OLED displays faster and cheaper. Their findings, published in the Journal of Molecular Structure, show that the materials can be used to create light-emitting layers through solution processing, a method similar to inkjet printing.
