This year's Nobel Prize is certainly remarkable. It shows how important in the modern world are the methods of organic synthesis, allowing the production of new materials and their applications, in particular in biological systems. It has been awarded to organic chemists who are not afraid to take up new challenges and cross borders, working on the border of chemistry and biology.

In May 2022, a collaboration between an artist collective and Danish technology company Mindfuture resulted in the creation of the Computer Lars project - involving artificial intelligence and a chatbot imitating a human.

The use of UV/VIS light enables a non-invasive assessment of the cardiovascular condition. The proposal of scientists from Lodz University of Technology and Jagiellonian University is based on the measurement of fluorescence NADH — FMSF (flow mediated skin fluorescence).

Coffee, like tea, has been used for 3000 years now, whereas cocoa beans have an even longer history that goes back another five centuries.

The events of recent weeks related to the Oder River environmental disaster have prompted deeper reflection not only on the state of the water environment, but also on the state of monitoring of surface water bodies (SWBs), which are the basic unit of water management.

You may have heard or have heard the phrase "secondary flow" before. If you want to know what it is, let me explain the mentioned phenomenon in a holiday setting.

Maria Skłodowska-Curie is the only person in the world to receive two Nobel Prizes in two different fields of science. However, her way to the top was not easy. She had to fight prejudices and stereotypes about women more than once.

Practically from that moment on, for the next centuries, only raw materials of natural origin were used in cosmetic preparations.

In today's world of rapidly developing technologies, a particular group of seventeen chemical elements is becoming increasingly important technologically, and thus economically.
