For decades, silicon has been the driving force behind the development of electronics. However, its capabilities are not limitless. Jakub Wojciech Sitek, PhD, from the Centre for Advanced Materials and Technologies CEZAMAT at the Warsaw University of Technology will lead a research project aimed at developing a solution that could support the next generation of electronic devices.
The European Space Agency (ESA) has announced the establishment of a new ESA Centre in Warsaw. The Centre's thematic focus aligns with the Civil Security Hub Poland project, co-developed by researchers from the Warsaw University of Technology as part of ESA's Space Resilience Nodes initiative. The initiative aims to support the deployment of innovative satellite-based solutions for emergency response, civil protection and crisis management.
Students from the Antenna Design Student Research Group at the Warsaw University of Technology have designed and built their own ground station for receiving data from satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). The project was carried out with funding awarded through the Rector's grants programme for student research groups for the 2025/2026 academic year. The group received nearly PLN 47,000 to build the station under the project entitled Adaptive Beamforming Antenna Array for Receiving Signals from Low Earth Orbit Satellites in the L-band.
For the fourth consecutive year, students and academic staff from the Faculty of Architecture at the Warsaw University of Technology have created a unique architectural installation at the Royal Łazienki Museum. This year's project, the Pavilion of Experiment, is open to visitors in the Garden by the Hermitage until the end of September.
A research team including physicists from the Warsaw University of Technology has demonstrated a new method for controlling structural colours in blue-phase liquid crystals. The researchers achieved this by combining nanoparticles with specially designed alignment layers. Their findings have been published in ACS Nano.
Representatives of the Humanoid Student Research Group advanced to the final stage of the international humanoid robot competition organised by EngineAI. The Polish team, Brave Mind Fighters, finished fourth among the 32 best teams selected from 75 groups from around the world. This is one of the best results ever achieved by Polish student teams in this discipline and a testament to the high quality of engineering education at the Warsaw University of Technology.
