Malaria is one of the most frequent infectious diseases. Fighting against one of its variants is the purpose of an international research consortium PvSTATEM. WUT scientists have joined the work of the consortium.

The first serious chapter of the story opened in 2017, when a team was established to build a motorcycle for the MotoStudent competition. After six years of development, the WUT SiMR Racing Technology machine changed a lot, its creators gained experience and they may be proud of their successes. Today, their aim is to construct an electric motorbike - for the next edition of the MotoStudent competition, of course.

17 September 2023, 16.55 – we write this date down in our university calendar and tag it #spacewow. It was then when the successful flight of a rocket with a hybrid drive happened in the history of the Warsaw University of Technology. Twardowsky – as the machine is called – is the work of the Student Space Association.

Dr Przemysław Dzięgielewski and prof. Jerzy Antonowicz from the Faculty of Physics of the Warsaw University of Technology had a fruitful visit to Didcot, UK – the location of one of the most modern synchrotron facilities in the world.

An innovative system for pulmonary rehabilitation won the national level of the international technological competition organised by the James Dyson Foundation. The winning solution is the work of the team pd meds, comprising mainly young scientists connected with the Warsaw University of Technology.

The KNR Rover Team from the Robotics Science Club and SKA Robotics from the Student Astronautical Club will take part in one of the largest international competitions for creators of Mars rovers. What have the teams from the Warsaw University of Technology prepared?

Lensless holographic microscopy opens up completely new possibilities of imaging live cells. In the project NaNoLens it will be used by Professor Maciej Trusiak from the Faculty of Mechatronics of the Warsaw University of Technology. For his research he was awarded the ERC Starting Grant. 

Scientists from the Warsaw University of Technology want to use thermal energy from sewage to heat some University buildings. It is an important move towards circular economy.

Another important step forward in 2D materials research. Working in an international team of researchers, Jakub Sitek, PhD, from the PW Faculty of Physics, developed a new method which opens up the way to mass production of 2D materials based devices. The results of the team’s research were published in "ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces".

The National Science Centre has published the results of the SONATINA 7 competition. Its winners include a researcher from the Warsaw University of Technology.

A scientific article authored by researchers from the Faculty of Chemistry was published in "Chemical Communications" from the first decile of journals (200 points). The article presents research on a solution for removal of toxic caesium from aqueous solutions.

The Warsaw University of Technology has been developing the technology of carbonate fuel cells for years. Another step in WUT scientists’ research is the development of a co-electrolyser for production of high quality synthetic gas.

Gabriel Wlazłowski, PhD, a university professor from the Faculty of Physics, utilized the capabilities of the LUMI supercomputer for conducting advanced research in the field of quantum mechanics. Our researcher has recently completed the project titled "Turbulent Dynamics in Superfluid Fermi Systems", conducted as part of the competition for pilot computing grants, which are implemented using the infrastructure of the most powerful European supercomputer.

For nearly two years, students from the Warsaw University of Technology have been working on decarbonization plans for Warsaw. The plans have been developed and presented. Now is the time to implement them.

Young researchers from the Warsaw University of Technology are working on a modular prosthesis for children. They plan to devote the coming months to the development of a research preprototype of their solution.

A new building was erected in the Royal Łazienki Park - it is the Freedom Pavilion. It was built by students and lecturers from the Faculty of Architecture of the Warsaw University of Technology, but the project itself brought together many communities and institutions.

PhD students from the Warsaw University of Technology have figured out how to make recovery from a limb fracture shorter and less strenuous. In their PulseLAYERS project, they decided to use printed electrostimulation layers.

A team of young scientists wants to use holographic microscopy to monitor immunotherapy. Work is currently underway to develop a prototype solution.

How to ensure energy independence in villages? Students from the Student Research Group of Bioeconomy have come up with an idea and they ran in the competition Bio-based Innovation Student Challenge Europe (BISC-E).

Green transport at your fingertips? Thanks to a project by PhD students from the Warsaw University of Technology, it is possible.

The project by Michal Karelus and Michal Niedzielczyk from the Faculty of Automotive and Construction Machinery Engineering consists of an inflatable rescue buoy and an ejection system. Its important advantage is that providing assistance does not require direct contact with the victim.

Doctoral students from the Warsaw University of Technology came up with the idea how to support patients struggling to regain their health and fitness after oxygen therapy. The solution uses simple tools and… gamification.

WiseBuild – a digital conceptual solutions assistant – allows clients to actively participate in designing their own energy-efficient house. It is an alternative to catalogue designs, invented as part of a Master’s thesis at the PW Faculty of Architecture. The author is Damian Granosik.

This is one of the most notable space projects of recent months. JUICE is an unmanned spacecraft designed to provide information about Jupiter and its moons. The project involves Polish companies, universities and institutions, including the Warsaw University of Technology.

It is nanocrystalline, fireproof and has high entropy. Thanks to this it may be used, for example, in nuclear power engineering or space industry. Such alloy is studied by an international research team, which includes a researcher from the Warsaw University of Technology.
