Which meteorological factors determine the inflow and lingering of smog in Krakow? What is the role of topography? Does the pollution produced during the heating season come mainly from Krakow or the neighbouring towns? These are...[more]

Can a butterfly dying in Amazonia cause a tornado in Poland? Theoretically, it is possible! Mathematicians prove that even the tiniest change in initial conditions can have grand and completely unpredictable consequences. The...[more]

‘They hit the Russian economy hard, but also affect – although on a smaller scale – the situation in a number of European countries, including Poland’, says Dr Maciej Woźniak from the Faculty of Management about the sanctions...[more]

Monitoring sinkholes is a challenge not only to national security services, but also to climatologists. The ones that form in the hard-to-reach arctic regions emit considerable volumes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. AGH...[more]

For the first time, scientists have observed the dead-cone effect in high-energy proton-proton collisions, which confirms the existence of quark masses. This formidable discovery was made by physicists and engineers working on...[more]

Bone tissue can change its structure multiple times during a lifetime, adapting to various loadings that our bodies may be exposed to. Implants can disrupt this natural process. Therefore, AGH UST scholars develop a numerical...[more]

AGH UST students develop a personalised foot prosthesis for indoor climbing. The solution under development is to answer the needs of Kamil Warchoł, an AGH UST student who, as a result of foot amputation, uses a tailor-made...[more]

‘Nuclear power buys us a lot of time to develop other technologies. These can include the renewables or energy storage, as well as the implementation of fast reactors that will allow us to close the fuel cycle. Perhaps one of...[more]

Can geological formations be used to store energy on Earth and other planets? Are such geological energy storage facilities an opportunity for the Polish energy transformation and space colonisation? These are the questions that...[more]

‘While assessing whether the atom can be included in the taxonomy, the European Commission turned to the Joint Research Centre (JRC) for a scientific opinion on whether nuclear power can be treated as an energy source that falls...[more]
