ARIEL space telescope, exoplanet hunter, successfully passes Preliminary Design Review
ARIEL, the next-gen mission of the European Space Agency (ESA), has successfully passed the Preliminary Design Review. The launch of the mission, which aims to observe the chemical composition of distant extrasolar planets, is scheduled for 2029. The Space Research Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences is preparing one of the key instruments of the telescope.

Nanotubular spaghetti in polymer sauce
Polish researchers have synthesized polymers that were too expensive to freely conduct research on. They now have a whole library of compounds allowing them to select carbon nanotubes for nanomedicine and photovoltaics.

Researchers at Łukasiewicz - ILOT develop new rocket fuel
Green, high-performance, hypergolic (capable of self-ignition when mixed) propellants have been the Holy Grail of space propulsion for decades. In recent months, engineers and scientists from Łukasiewicz - Institute of Aviation have successfully completed a number of tests leading to solving this challenge, the representatives of the institute report.

Calculate temperature in heated car with online calculator
What values will the air temperature reach in a heated car and what body temperature will a person locked in it have? It is possible to estimate these values with the calculator created by Łukasz Białek, MD, and Dr. Dominik Czernia from the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences.

Models instead of crash tests
The risk of injury to the driver's chest is greatest during a front-to-side motorcar collision; the head is not so exposed to injuries, a doctoral candidate from the Military University of Technology determined after conducting about 400 virtual simulations of such an accident.

Computer scientists reveal shortest and longest way to find algorithm errors
Sometimes an error in an algorithm reveals itself quickly, and sometimes it takes a very long time. The question is how to find the range in which the program can fail. A team with Polish computer scientists was awarded for solving this problem for the VASS model.
