…d is made of stone and has marked fields and cup-holes. Games based on similar principles were played during the Bronze Age in many economic and cultural centres of that age. “Such finds are rare, but several examples are known from India, Mesopotamia and even the Eastern Mediterranean basin. The most famous example of a game-board based on a similar principle is the one from the graves from Ur,” the archaeologist explained. The abundance of settl…

…s of our Galaxy and in other galaxies. “For this, I will use variable stars called LSP. We think that these stars are actually binary systems in which a bright giant star is orbited by a mysterious object submerged in a dusty cloud. We suspect that this object is a former planet that accreted some matter lost by the star in the form of the stellar wind during last stages of its evolution,” as Dr Skowron explained.   LSP stars in the OGLE project  …

…erstand and harness the increasing complexity of ultracold polyatomic molecules to probe the fundamentals of chemistry and physics,” Prof. Tomza explained.   The project “Ultracold polyatomic molecules for controlled chemistry and precision physics” (QuantMol) by Prof. Tomza and his team combine chemistry and physics of ultracold matter to obtain new insights into the physical basis of chemistry and the fundamental laws of nature.   “We will exten…

…explained. The answer, however, may lie in the changing face of Roman workshops and how they shaped their clients’ tastes: “There is a pressing need to develop a wholly new approach to the study of cultural impact of the third-fifth century stonecutters’ and mosaicists’ workshops, a study which would encompass the entire Roman world,” said Dr Nowakowski from the Faculty of History, a laureate of the prestigious ERC grant.   Dr Paweł Nowakowski fro…

…interviews were conducted with the residents of Soba. The people who currently live in the vicinity of the ruins are confronted with the remains of the past on a daily basis. No wonder that the local communities have developed rich folklore associated with the archaeological site. By studying it, researchers get acquainted with folk beliefs featuring supernatural entities, and stories from the lives of modern residents of Soba. This brings the res…

…”She taught us to discuss. Her classes are an incredible example of academic debating, highly valued by her students as well as scientists in Poland and abroad. After debates, many left the Department of Papyrology in much worse mood than the one they were in when entering the building”, said Prof. Łukasz Niesiołowski-Spano, dean of the Faculty of History. “Once Croesus, the Lydian king, asked wise men who the happiest man was. The answer he rece…

…quantum mixtures of ions with atoms, molecules, and Rydberg atoms: novel hybrid systems and applications”, the research project published by “Nature” was carried out in 2017-2021 by a research team at the University of Warsaw, which also included Dariusz Wiater, a Phd candidate, Agata Wojciechowska, an MSc student, and Dr Krzysztof Jachymski, a member of the Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw, in cooperation with researchers from the German…
