A consortium of VIGO System, the Łódź University of Technology and the Warsaw University of Technology is responsible for the development and production of the invention.

The Warsaw University of Technology Faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering (or more precisely: the Institute of Heat Engineering) is the leader of the MOLCAR project, submitted for funding in the POLNOR CCS 2019 Call for Polish-Norwegian research projects. The project achieved the highest score. 

A group of scientists headed by Prof. Elżbieta Malinowska of the Center for Advanced Materials and Technologies (CEZAMAT) and the Warsaw University of Technology Faculty of Chemistry are working on diagnostic devices for rapid biomarker testing, including virus detection.

The 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for the development of lithium-ion batteries. This contributed to increased interest in this subject and acceleration of research, including at the Warsaw University of Technology. What battery projects are specialists from our Faculty of Chemistry involved in?

A project led by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Warsaw University of Technology (or more precisely — the Institute of Control and Industrial Electronics) was directed for funding in the POLNOR 2019 Call for Polish-Norwegian research projects. Moreover, this project received the highest rating in the Energy, transport and climate field.

The international T2K neutrino physics experiment (Tokai to Kamiokande) has published conclusions from the results of its research in the prestigious scientific journal “Nature” [1]. The authors include a large group of Poles, including team members from the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology of the Warsaw University of Technology, headed by Prof. Krzysztof Zaremba. Beside him, the co-authors are: Doctor Robert Kurjata, Doctor Andrzej Rychter and Marcin Ziembicki, MSc.

– I plan to spend next year studying Urban Design, says Zuzanna Jarzyńska from the Faculty of Architecture of the Warsaw University of Technology, a winner of the Fulbright Graduate Student Award 2020-21.

The innovative solution has been described by Mateusz Soliński and Michał Łepek – PhD students from the Faculty of Physics at the Warsaw University of Technology – and Łukasz Kołtowski, MD, PhD from the Medical University of Warsaw. You can read about the results of their work in the “Informatics in Medicine Unlocked” journal.

Is the Staszic Palace home to the archives of the Association of the Polish Youth “Zet”, a pre-WWI clandestine organisation of Polish students across European universities? Experts, including Anna Lejzerowicz, Ph.D., of the Warsaw University of Technology Faculty of Civil Engineering have performed some early surveys. 

A researcher of the WUT Faculty of Mathematics and Information Sciences has won a Fulbright Senior Award 2020–21. Under the scholarship, she will be working on a project entitled “Order in Data Science and Category Theory”.

The latest design of the WUT Racing team has been shown to the public.

Support in diagnostics and treatment of visual impairment

It attracts interest everywhere it appears. And it’s not because of its distinctive blue color, it’s because of its impressive capabilities. Meet Melson and its creators – students of the Robotics Student Research Group (KNR) at the Faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering of the Warsaw University of Technology.

Today on the market there are several thousand different metallic materials available. However only about 30 of them are used for metal 3D printing. New alloys appear slowly, because a lot of resources are needed to develop the proper feedstock – powder with custom chemical composition. Scientists from the Warsaw University of Technology have developed a technology that solves these problems.

The issue is serious. Ice formation and build-up can be a lethal danger in many spheres of life. The risk is still greater if icing occurs on aerodynamic surfaces of aircraft flying at a high speed or on wind turbines, or on key parts of electrical wiring. Rafał Kozera, DSc, Eng. of the Warsaw University of Technology, Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering, has an idea how to solve this problem.

In Poland, the average household size has been on the decline for several years now. According to the forecasts of the Central Statistical Office from 2016, it will continue on a downward trend in the next decade. What is the quality of life of people living on a single income? A research project on this subject was conducted by Marlena Piekut, DSc, Eng., from the College of Economics and Social Sciences of the Warsaw University of Technology Branch in Płock.

Business - Innovations – Technology

The concept proposed by a Polish-German consortium would offer savings and reduced pollution. On-board the REWARD project are scientists of the Warsaw University of Technology’s Faculty of Chemistry and Process Engineering.

Business - Innovations – Technology

Scientists of the Warsaw University of Technology Faculty of Chemistry and Process Engineering use graphene oxide and graphene-related compounds to develop new materials for infrared radiation protection. Their IR-GRAPH Project was funded by the National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR).

Dull, boring, hard or even irrelevant or devoid of reality in the form we know it from school handbooks. These are the common conceptions of mathematics. Can you break that stereotype? Yes, you can! Scientists of the Warsaw University of Technology do just this.

What solutions do students test in their vehicles?

A team led by Agnieszka Siemion, Ph.D., Eng., of the Warsaw University of Technology Faculty of Physics is working on optical systems for a real-time human skin imaging device designed to detect cancer lesions. The T-SKIN project received funding under the LEADER Program managed by the National Centre for Research and Development.
