…and the blood flow in blood vessels, to the dynamics of quark-gluon plasma on subatomic scales. The Navier-Stokes equations, formulated in the 19th century based on the principles of conservation of mass, momentum and energy, belong to classical physics. However, the motion of particles is governed by the laws of quantum mechanics, which raises the question of whether these equations can be derived from the principles of quantum physics.   The re…

…the nest drops roughly by 50%.   “As cities expand rapidly, decision-makers need hard data to support urban planning that includes green infrastructure. Our study provides urban planners, landscape architects, and policymakers with the information necessary to design bird-friendly spaces. It also quantifies how a systematic increase in concrete and asphalt directly reduces the number of fledglings leaving nest boxes,” explains Prof. Marta Szulkin….

…. UW as the most popular university in Poland In November, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education presented information on enrolment results for the 2024/2025 academic year at universities supervised by the Minister of Science. The University of Warsaw was the most frequently selected university both according to the total number of admissions (as of 1st October 2024 – 9,514; as of 18th October – 11,928) and the applications of candidates fo…

…n either.”   Prof. Ewa Krogulec, the UW Vice-Rector, drew attention to the 2023–2032 strategy adopted by the UW last June: “We treat the strategy, in the development of which we have involved representatives of all groups of the UW community, as a certain system that plays a big role for internationalisation. From our perspective, internationalisation is not an end in itself, but a certain process – in the area of science, research, teaching, but…

…working principle of the SUSI device is very similar to the so-called quantum-inspired super-resolution methods in imaging. The greatest challenge was how to translate these ideas to the realm of time and frequency,” said Michał Lipka, a doctoral candidate at the UW’s Faculty of Physics, the co-creator of the device.   Colors bring information The task of spectroscopy is to study the various colors, that is the spectrum, of light. A chemical subst…
