How is it possible?

It does not give off unpleasant odours, it does not cause problems with recycling, it does not remain in gazebos and landfills — and yet light can be and actually is a source of pollution. We asked Krzysztof Skarżyński, PhD Eng., from the Lighting Technology Division of Electrical Power Engineering Institute at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, a lighting enthusiast, a specialist in the field of its simulation and measurements.

Grzegorz Siewruk, PhD Eng., from the Warsaw University of Technology designed and built the Mixeway system, increasing the security of applications operating in the infrastructure of telecommunications operators.

Experts from the Warsaw University of Technology were included in the list of TOP-100 Women in AI – an elitarian list of Polish and foreign women working in Poland, who professionally deal with the subject of artificial intelligence.

A team led by prof. Mariusz Zdrojek from the Faculty of Physics is busy working on creating a material that will suppress harmful microwave radiation. It needs to be cheap, lightweight and flexible enough to easily adapt to different products.

There are works that change people's fate, and even the fate of the world. This might have been the case with Mieczysław Wolfke's publication entitled ‘Über die Möglichkeit der optischen Abbildung von Molekulargittern’ (On the possibility of optical imaging of molecular grids). However, this never really happened. We would like to invite you to the next part of the story about a unique researcher and inventor associated with the Warsaw University of Technology.

Our graduate involved in this unique project

Madhurya Chandel, PhD, from the Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering has been invited to attend the 71^st Lindau Nobel Laureates Meeting at Lindau (Germany) - a prestigous meeting with Nobel Prize winners and young scientists from around the world.

Setting the temperature in the operating room is quite a challenge. The patient requires a lot of heat, while the cooler temperature is better for the medical staff. WUT researchers decided to look for a solution to this problem. What is their idea? Prof. Anna Bogdan from the Faculty of Building Services, Hydro and Environmental Engineering explains.

The Faculty of Physics collects and rebuilds old uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), lithium-ion batteries, and car batteries as part of the "Mini-energy storage" campaign („Minimagazyny energii”). All of this is meant to support the people of Ukraine, who have lost access to the electricity network as a result of the war.

In the latest edition of The Center for World University Ranking, Warsaw University of Technology ranked 711^th in the world and maintained its fifth place in the country, trailing three universities and one research institute.

Mieczysław Wolfke is one of the most acclaimed researchers and inventors associated with the Warsaw University of Technology. His ideas delighted the world, but they are not as well-known as they deserve to be. We want to change that!

More students in nuclear energy-related fields – this is the main goal of the agreement concluded between the Warsaw University of Technology, the University of Warsaw, and the International Institute of Nuclear Energy.
