Scientists led by the Wrocław University of Science and Technology will develop a biomaterial designed to regenerate damaged bone and cartilage tissue under the REGENESIS project, an international initiative worth more than €1.4 million.

The project aims to create a layered bioactive implant for treating osteochondral injuries and restoring the interface between bone and cartilage, which researchers say current therapies often fail to repair fully.

“The material we are developing, called REGEniq, will have a layered structure, each layer designed to support the regeneration of a different type of tissue’, said Małgorzata Gazińska, research coordinator at the university.

Scientists from the University of Warsaw and Lodz University of Technology have identified what they say are the earliest chemical traces of fermented alcoholic beverages in northeastern Poland, after analysing 4,500-year-old ceramic vessels linked to the Bell Beaker culture.

Ancient ‘beer’ traces found in 4,500-year-old vessels in Northeastern Poland Scientists from the University of Warsaw and Lodz University of Technology have identified what they say are the earliest chemical traces of fermented alcoholic beverages in northeastern Poland, after analysing 4,500-year-old ceramic vessels linked to the Bell Beaker culture.

A Polish-designed onboard computer, LeopardISS, has been successfully tested aboard the International Space Station, where it was used to run autonomous navigation and Earth-observation algorithms directly in orbit, according to its developers at KP Labs.

The system, developed by the Gliwice-based company KP Labs, is a compact, screenless cube designed for operation in harsh space conditions. It connects directly to onboard sensors, including hyperspectral cameras, and processes data in orbit rather than sending raw information to Earth.

“The computer's architecture, its thermomechanical design, and the management software are our proprietary solutions”, Julia Marushchak of KP Labs told PAP.

Researchers from Poland and China have developed a method for printing microscopic structures directly onto the end of optical fibres to generate so-called vortex beams, a technology seen as a potential route toward higher-capacity optical communication systems.
