Polish physicists know how to reduce heat loss through windows
A method for thermal insulation coatings for windows - stopping infrared radiation - has been developed by physicists from the Polish Academy of Sciences. Their idea makes it possible to reduce the scale of heat loss through the windows in winter. Savings on heating can reach a dozen or so percent, the creators of the solution estimate.

Polish and Norwegian physicists recreate Big Bang at microscopic scale
Polish theoretical physicists and Norwegian experimental physicists recreate 'miniature big bangs' in particle colliders to solve the mysteries of the Early Universe. They are looking for answers to questions about the source of surplus matter, the nature of dark matter and what happened right after the Big Bang.

AI teaches robots to synthesise drugs faster
Press the button to produce any of the thousands of organic chemical compounds, e.g. drugs, from easily available ingredients in a few moments? Why not? Another step in this direction has become possible with peculiar cooperation of artificial intelligence (Polish program) with robots that run chemical reactions.

Researchers find ‘exciting opportunity’ for development of quantum computers
Until now, a certain quantum phenomenon has only been observed in complex experiments, in extremely cold pairs of alkaline metals. Now, for the first time, it has been shown also in a solid - in a common semiconductor, copper oxide, one of the ingredients of a mineral called cuprite.

Polish scientists reinterpret petroglyphs of Toro Muerto
The geometric patterns, lines and zigzags that accompany the images of dancers (danzantes) carved in the rocks of the Peruvian Toro Muerto are not snakes or lightning bolts, but a record of songs - suggest Polish scientists who analyse rock art from 2,000 years ago.
