A team from the Faculty of Chemistry of the Warsaw University of Technology has developed a new medicine design procedure that can be applied when there is little experimental data available on the molecular mechanisms of a disease or ways to treat it. The developed procedure is the result of the work of student Stanisław Kulczyk and associate professor Dr. Mariola Koszytkowska-Stawińska.

Scientists have detected a 'hot spot' orbiting Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the centre of our galaxy. The discovery was made by a team led, among others, by Maciej Wielgus, PhD Eng., Polish astronomer and graduate of the Warsaw University of Technology.

Students of the Warsaw University of Technology and of the San Francisco State University have developed an app A’RENT, which will support honest commercialization of artwork. This solution may also be used for typical trade operations, involving ownership transfer.

Researchers from the Faculty of Chemistry have developed a method for producing zinc oxide (ZnO)­–based nanomaterials from organometallic precursors. The technology was implemented and then developed by Nanoxo. The solution has a wide range of industrial applications, and it was recently recognized in a competition promoting Polish innovations.

A mobile road mapping platform has been developed at the Warsaw University of Technology. The device will ultimately be used to conduct sample inventories of engineering facilities and historical objects.

The project created at the Faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering meets the needs and expectations of aviation industry, and can significantly contribute to its development.

A few years ago, they developed a technology to convert videos and photos into comics. Today, they are building tools to create avatars that will be able to represent us in the online world. The task is part of a global project related to the internet of the future.

A project of WUT researchers was awarded funding in an international competition Weave-UNISONO conducted by the National Science Centre. Our researchers will cooperate with a team from Austria.

Cement production accounts for 6 to 8% of global carbon dioxide emissions. Researchers are looking for alternative building materials that could limit it. Piotr Prochoń, PhD, from the Warsaw University of Technology analyses the possibility of using biomass ashes.

Investors and contractors will love them. Graduates of the Warsaw University of Technology have come up with a solution that will help in managing construction investments. It will save time and resources, reduce stress and ultimately – facilitate the timely implementation of projects. 

Researchers from the Warsaw University of Technology have developed a solution that will help in forecasting the development of the COVID-19 pandemic. An article on this subject has appeared in the prestigious "Nature Scientific Reports" journal.

A team from the Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering is examining a new group of two-dimensional materials – MBenes phases. Their unique and still not fully recognized properties may one day be used, among other things, in environmental protection and health care.

The concept of a modular settlement for Ukrainian refugees is being developed at the Faculty of Architecture at the WUT. It will be used to develop general guidelines and standards for this type of residential complex.

International Nucleome Consortium has developed a tool which will help to evaluate 3D genomics modules. Researchers from the WUT Faculty of Mathematics and Information Science have participated in the work.

At the beginning of July on the Błędowska Desert, the first in Poland student guided rocket FOK was tested in flight. Its creators are members of the SKA Student Space Association from the Faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering.

It is much smaller than its hospital equivalents but its quality clearly equals them. A miniature ECG monitoring device has been created by a WUT scientist and two doctors. 

Students from the ADek Science Club  create advanced driver assistance systems to improve road safety. These are currently being tested in the autonomous electric car, "ADAŚ", which has appeared on streets of Warsaw.

Who wouldn't want their phone or laptop battery to function reliably for a long time? Meeting these expectations, however, is not that easy. For this, one requires materials with specific properties. Researchers from the Faculty of Chemistry of the Warsaw University of Technology and the National Institute of Chemistry from Slovenia are already looking for them.

For the past few months, a group of students of the Faculty of Architecture has been working on the "Water Asylum" project. Their efforts have resulted in an installation that can be viewed in the immediate vicinity of the ZODIAK Pavilion.

Can scientists find inspiration for their work in popular culture? Yes, of course! This occurred in the case of a WUT Faculty of Physics project. George Lucas' films inspired researchers to develop a solution that can help improve the vision of the elderly.

A new point has appeared on the map of WUT scientific circles – "CHIMNEY"

Imaging cells is a daunting task due to their size and transparent interior. Holographic tomography proves helpful, as well as digital models and real phantoms of 3D cells developed by WUT researchers.

Researchers from the Faculty of Chemical and Process Engineering of WUT have developed a technology that will enable universal and less expensive production of hydrogen. They used molybdenum disulphide produced in impact reactors and carbon nanomaterials.
