The team led by Prof. Artur Kasprzak from the Faculty of Chemistry conducts research in the field of mechanochemistry, which is one of the fastest‑growing techniques in organic synthesis. For their work, the researchers needed a ball mill. They built one themselves: it is cheaper than commercially available solutions and offers new capabilities.

Researchers from the Institute of Radioelectronics and Multimedia Technology at the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology are involved in the T2K experiment in Japan. A joint analysis of neutrino‑oscillation data from the T2K experiment and the NOvA experiment in the United States has been published in the prestigious journal Nature. The publication was co‑authored by Dr Robert Kurjata, Dr Andrzej Rychter, Dr Marcin Ziembicki and Krzysztof Dygnarowicz, Msc.

Students of the Faculty of Architecture enrolled in the English‑medium course Contemporary Building Materials visited the Faculty of Civil Engineering, where they worked with architectural concrete, creating their own sculptural forms. The joint workshop offered an opportunity for creative experimentation and an important lesson in interdisciplinary collaboration.

Retinal detachment is one of the most serious ophthalmic emergencies and, without prompt intervention, leads to loss of vision. For more than half a century, the standard treatment has been scleral buckling – a surgical procedure in which a silicone band is placed around the eye to indent the wall at the site of the retinal tear. Although effective, the method is associated with numerous complications, ranging from myopia to infections and the need for additional surgeries to remove the implant.

In South Korea Polish architects presented one of the most celebrated projects of recent years – the Akcja “Burza” Park located on the Warsaw Uprising Mound. One of the project’s authors, Maciej Kaufman, who teaches at the Faculty of Architecture of Warsaw University of Technology, represented our university atthe 5th Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism and at two prestigious Korean universities: Seoul National University and Hanyang University.

A team led by Dr Katarzyna Rędzińska of Warsaw University of Technology is among the winners of the BiodivTransform competition, receiving funding to carry out an international research project.

More than 120 participants from all ten partner universities of the ENHANCE European Universities consortium (which includes our university) took part in the regular meeting aimed at summarising the work completed so far and planning the next steps. Warsaw University of Technology hosted the gathering, which took place from 2 to 4 December 2025.

We have a new record. Thanks to the generosity and open hearts of everyone who took part in our event, we collected 56,143.83 PLN for the Christmas Grant for students and doctoral candidates involved in promoting the University – over five thousand more than the previous highest amount.

In this year’s ranking, our university secured 72^nd place in Europe (alongside two French institutions and one from the Czech Republic) and ranked fourth nationwide. We also reached the national podium in five of the seven thematic EngiRank 2025 categories.

The research paper “1000 Layer Networks for Self-Supervised RL: Scaling Depth Can Enable New Goal-Reaching Capabilities” was awarded Best Paper at the world’s most prestigious artificial intelligence conference, NeurIPS 2025. The co-authors of the work are Prof. Tomasz Trzciński from the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology and Michał Bortkiewicz from the Doctoral School of WUT. The publication was created in collaboration with Princeton University.

Is it possible to present complex scientific research in just three minutes in a way that engages and inspires the audience? The participants of the Three Minute Thesis® competition at Warsaw University of Technology have once again proven that it is!

A truly wonderful time for everyone!

A team of scientists from the Warsaw University of Technology has developed an innovative method of automatic classification of urban development density with the use of microwave SAR satellite images (Synthetic Aperture Radar). Joanna Pluto-Kossakowska, PhD, from the Faculty of Geodesy and Cartography, in collaboration with Sandhim Wangiyana from the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology, has developed a methodology that can support the monitoring and planning of urban fabric.  

Daria Pałgan, MSc, received the Best Paper Award at the sixth Nano-Joining & Micro-Joining International Conference, which took place between November 17 and November 21, 2025, in Yeongju, Korea. Daria’s presentation was titled: “Cu-Mo nanocomposites as an interlayer for joining in thermal management systems”. 

A team of students from Varsovian universities was the runner-up in  the prestigious iGEM Competition – the world’s biggest synthetic biology competition organised  by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). One of the members of the team is Bartłomiej Łuszczuk, a student of biotechnology at the Faculty of Chemistry at the Warsaw University of Technology.

Once again, the Warsaw University of Technology has been ranked among the best scientific institutions listed in the Shanghai Global Ranking of Academic Subjects (GRAS) 2025. The ranking includes 57 subjects (with Artificial Intelligence and  Robotic Science & Engineering added compared to the previous year), grouped into five main fields of Natural Sciences, Engineering, Life Sciences, Medical Sciences, and Social Sciences.

In the era of growing environmental challenges and the need for energetic transformation, scientists at the Warsaw University of Technology are taking part in one of the most innovative research projects in Europe – TITAN (Direct biogas conversion to green H₂ and carbon-based materials for soil enhancement and SiC production using a scalable microwave catalytic reactor). The initiative aims to develop a technology that facilitates direct biogas conversion to green H₂ and precious carbon-based materials in a new generation catalytic reactor.

This year’s edition of Carbon Korea was exceptional for the Polish materials field. For the first time, thanks to the cooperation between the Polish Composite Technology Cluster and the Korean K-Carbon cluster, a Polish stand was created, presenting the potential of companies, research institutes, and scientific units from Poland.

A researcher from the WUT Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering was distinguished at the 9th International Conference on Nanomaterials by Severe Plastic Deformation (October 31–November 4, 2025, Beijing), one of the largest events dedicated to techniques of severe plastic deformation.

Patrycja Wińska, PhD, from the Team for Biomedical Chemistry at the Faculty of Chemistry, will implement the project “Human exosomes as natural carriers for inhibitors and degraders of CK2 protein kinase in targeted anti-cancer therapy”. She was granted funding for the project as part of the OPUS 28+LAP/Weave Competition of the National Science Centre. 

This year, WUT scientists have continued the non-invasive research programme conducted by the Warsaw University of Technology at the site of the former Treblinka II extermination camp. This year’s work aimed to carry out a detailed survey of the internal roads of the camp, with particular emphasis on the route leading to the gas chambers. 

Representatives of the Biomaterials Student Research Group, operating at the WUT Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering, took part in the final of the Read Write Grow European Synthetic Biology Hackathon – an event dedicated to innovations in the field of synthetic biology.

The algorithm developed by the team of representatives of the WUT Faculty of Physics, KU Leuven, and Military University of Technology (WAT) proved to be the best presented at the Data Challenge organised by the technological branch of NATO.
