Holographic optical tomography is a breakthrough method of corneal imaging developed by a team of scientists from the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IPC PAS) in Warsaw. In a quick and painless way, it will help to look into the eye and thus support the early diagnosis of eye diseases.
Beginning this week you can get a free coronavirus test in Poznań and at the same time make your contribution to an important study. The PAS Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry wants to determine how many people in Poland tested positive for COVID-19 but had no symptoms, and what genetic factors affect the course of the disease.
Researchers from the PAS Institute of Physical Chemistry have developed a cheap and effective chemical compound capable of purifying the air from various toxins. The invention can potentially be applied to produce air filters for industrial plants, as well as gas masks or protective suits for factory workers exposed to toxic vapors.
They emit strong red light and facilitate the study of the finest cellular structures. New, stable fluorescent dyes were developed by scientists from the PAS Institute of Organic Chemistry. They provide an opportunity to investigate, for example, proteins associated with Parkinson's disease or Alzheimer's disease.
The PAS Center of Polymer and Carbon Materials in Zabrze and the Medical University of Silesia in Katowice have created a wound dressing for the 21st century. It accelerates wound healing, reduces the risk of scarring and does not need to be changed. The invention was awarded in the "Eureka! DGP" competition.
It is established by scientific institutions that during the COVID-19 pandemic have supported hospitals and sanitary epidemiological stations by carrying out tests for coronavirus. Those institutions agreed to conduct joint research and apply for grants. Medical University of Lodz is a leader of the newly established consortium, while the PAS Institute of Medical Biology is one of its partners.
EUR 2.5 million from the EU ERA Chairs program will go to the PAS Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research (IARFR PAS) for creating a Center of Excellence in nutrigenomics. This is a field that allows you to understand the impact of nutrition on genetic predisposition to diet-related chronic diseases.
Supporting natural renewal processes and reducing tree harvesting. These are the measures that should be taken to protect forests against the global warming impacts. On the initiative of Prof. Nuria Selva from the PAS Institute of Nature Conservation a group of researchers has written a letter to the Science magazine.
Almost 100 scientists took part in the webinar on June 25, 2020. The webinar was conducted by the top Duch consulting company Yellow Research at the invitation of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The meeting was the final stage of the one-month online workshop.
Urgent investments in research and innovation, long-term strategy and better cooperation between countries are needed – assesses the EU-LIFE consortium, which includes the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology associated with the Polish Academy of Sciences. Scholars call for allocating more funds for science under the new EU budget.
Why are Poles’ lives getting shorter? Which diseases are the leading causes of death? Will pandemics become commonplace? On June 22, 2020 the PAS Committee on Demographic Studies devoted its session to discuss these issues. We are sharing with you our experts’ conclusions.
Experts will monitor the course of the COVID-19 epidemic in Poland, analyze and predict its possible scenarios and put forward recommendations. They will also develop contacts with similar teams in other countries to exchange experience with them.
Unsolved mysteries of the microworld and the most difficult questions in the field of quantum thermodynamics draw up his daily bread. Krzysztof Ptaszyński, a PhD from the PAS Institute of Molecular Physics was named one of the 100 most talented young scientists awarded by the Foundation for Polish Science.
50 talented scientists from abroad will come to Poland to carry out their research in the institutes of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Recruitment procedures will start in 2021, but preparations are already in full swing. The first consultations with excellent scientists, who have shared their experiences and insights with the Academy, are already behind us.
The theory of scientists from the PAS Institute of Physics has been experimentally confirmed by German physicists from the University of Heidelberg. The experiment concerns the formation of Pauli crystals – the structures in which atoms can arrange themselves in an unusual geometric configurations. This is another step towards the development of quantum technologies that will change our lives.
Planning a summer vacation? Think about staying in Poland and exploring lesser-known destinations. The creators of the New Panorama of Polish Literature from the Institute of Literary Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences invite you for a journey in the footsteps of Polish romantic writers.
Due to accelerating climate change the occurance of phenomenon such as droughts and floods will increase – emphasizes the Advisory Group for Climate Crisis appointed by the president of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Poland has one of the lowest water resources in Europe. Scholars call for comprehensive actions to increase water retention by protecting the natural landscape and small water rentention.
Polish Academy of Sciences (PAS) is in the top place in the prestigious Nature Index scientific institution ranking. It is based on the institution’s publication output (number of research papers published in leading scientific journals).
