Food packaging does not have to be made of plastics that pollute the planet. It can be biodegradable, compostable and... edible. Scientists from the Warsaw University of Life Sciences are working on its production process.
A staggering 96 percent of the time people spend online is spent on anything but consuming information. This, says Professor Magdalena Wojcieszak means ‘we have over-inflated the issue of information bubbles and disinformation.’
Biohydrogen is gaining importance as a potential alternative fuel source. One of the possibilities of its production is to use sewage sludge from food waste processing. Scientists from the University of Silesia have improved this method and enhanced it with nanotechnology.
A Polish large language model PLLuM, trained on mainly Polish-language content, and an intelligent assistant based on it will be developed by six Polish research units. 'We cannot afford to be left behind,’ say the project’s representatives.
Scientists from the AGH University have been working for years on materials which could replace bones and help in bone regeneration. They are now trying to force granular bone substitute materials to fight bacteria.
Thorium Space and the European Space Agency are working on the first Polish telecommunications satellite. The SmallGEO device could be in orbit in five years.
Polish optoelectronics engineers have co-created criteria for testing and selecting anti-drone technologies to protect infrastructure, borders and residents of individual EU countries.
Accelerating the action of polymers that wrap around a selected type of nanotubes so that they can be isolated for future applications was described by scientists from the Silesian University of Technology. The team leader, Professor Dawid Janas, compares this process to 'feeding a polymer boa snake, the constrictor of nanotubes.’
Artificial intelligence can help manage fear, shame and anger, assist in mindfulness training, and even help patients resist their inner voices. The effectiveness of the therapeutic chatbot called Terabot is now being verified, the Warsaw University of Technology reports.
Physicists from Europe, including Poland, have completed a series of experiments with deuterium and tritium at the Joint European Torus (JET) fusion device in the UK. As part of this work, they explored fusion processes and control techniques under similar conditions to those in future fusion power plants.
