Record-mass black hole discovered by the Gaia mission

While analysing a vast amount of data collected by the European Space Agency’s star surveyor Gaia, a research team including UW scientists has discovered a “sleeping” black hole. Its mass is estimated to be nearly thirty-three times the mass of the Sun, making it the greatest known example of this black hole in our galaxy. The discovery can influence the understanding of how massive stars evolve.

New perspectives in tumour treatment

Biologists from the University of Warsaw made a breakthrough discovery during the research on glioblastoma. The results were presented in the journals “EMBO Reports” and “Cell Death and Disease”.

Hermit crabs need to protect their soft abdomen in shells. They have recently begun to use plastic and other anthropogenic materials in this role, as scientists from the University of Warsaw and Poznań University of Life Sciences report in Science of the Total Environment.

Boomerang-like beams of light

A team of scientists at the University of Warsaw’s Faculty of Physics made a discovery that has implications for the study of light-matter interactions and represents a step towards the observation of a peculiar phenomenon known as a quantum backflow. The research results have been published in “Optica”.

Tasmanian devil with unprecedented flares

After a distant star’s explosive death, an active stellar corpse was the likely source of repeated energetic flares observed by an international team of researchers including Dr Mariusz Gromadzki from the UW’s Astronomical Observatory. The astronomers presented their findings in “Nature”.

Innovative chemical sensors

Scientists from the University of Warsaw developed a new method for producing chemical sensors built from nanostructured transition metal oxides. The results of their research make a significant contribution in the field of nanomaterial synthesis and sensing technologies.

New mechanism of genome folding

An international team of researchers from the University of Lausanne, EPFL, Princeton University and the University of Warsaw described a new mechanism of genome folding in fruit flies. The results of the study were published in the prestigious journal “Cell”.

Chimpanzee ground versus tree nests decay

A team of international researchers has conducted a study on the comparison of decay rates of chimpanzees ground and tree nest in the Bugoma Central Forest Reserve in western Uganda. The results are published in the prestigious “American Journal of Primatology”. The main author of the paper is Toni Romani, doctoral candidate at the Faculty of “Artes Liberales”, University of Warsaw.

Growth dynamics of mineral dendrites

An international research team involving scientists from the University of Warsaw's Faculty of Physics has described the process of growing three-dimensional manganese dendrites. This knowledge can be used in industry, for example in the production of synthetic materials with new properties. The research results were published in the journal "Geology".

UW researchers’ discovery supporting the treatment of breast cancer

Researchers from the University of Warsaw and the University of Ferrara conducted a study which in the future may significantly affect human’s health and improve the processes of treatment and prevention of the disease. The results of the research were published in the journal Non-Coding RNA.

Physicists from the UW in “Nature Photonics”

Researchers at the UW's Faculty of Physics have developed a new, highly efficient technique that makes quantum information transmission dozens of times faster. The results of the research, published in the prestigious journal "Nature Photonics", may in the near future contribute to the development of superfast quantum Internet connections.

“Nature” publication on a binary star system

An international team led by astronomers from the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics has announced in the "Nature" journal the discovery of a unique binary star system in which matter flows onto the white dwarf from its companion. One of the paper's authors presenting the results is Prof. Andrzej Udalski from the UW Astronomical Observatory.
