How much energy can you get from different amounts of coffee, prepared in different ways, and how do they affect your attention at a given time of day? This is what the users of the Coffee Energy Calculator, the first such tool available in Polish, can learn.

J-PET - positron emission tomograph designed and built at the Marian Smoluchowski Department of Physics of the Jagiellonian University has been presented in Kraków. The device is significantly different from traditional PET tomographs.

Scientists from the Silesian University of Technology together with physiotherapists are working on a VR-based method of quick detection of balance problems. In the future, the results of their work will help to accelerate detection of ENT diseases and nervous system disorders.

The system SARUAV, the purpose of which is to locate a missing person in the open, should be ready for use in search operations in two years. We are now working on issues including the reduction of image processing time, says Prof. Tomasz Niedzielski from the University of Wrocław.

What should be a dream solar panel? Efficient, cheap to produce, durable, flexible and eco-friendly. All these we can get thanks to perovskites: new material offering energy conversion efficiency comparable to silicon panels but much cheaper to produce with simple technology. New research done at IPC PAS in collaboration with EPFL, Switzerland, brings us closer to commercializing this technology.

Today, lithium-ion battery storage has the largest potential for large-scale energy storage, says Prof. Konrad Świrski. According to the scientist, full-scale energy storage will be possible in over a decade at the earliest.

Comprehensive high water and flood warning system "HydroProg" has been developed by scientists from Wrocław. It also works during extreme weather phenomena, says Prof. Tomasz Niedzielski from the University of Wrocław. Soon, scientists will be able to offer it to institutions and companies.

In Kielce, 28 teams of young constructors from 12 countries started the competition in the 5th edition of the European Rover Challenge. The event is accompanied by a space industry and business conference.

"Catching" cosmic ray particles with a smartphone app is one of the pillars of the CREDO project initiated at the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Kraków. People living on five continents participate in the project.
