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.
How can wireless data transmission be made even faster? This is precisely the challenge being tackled by researchers from the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology at the Warsaw University of Technology and the Institute of Optoelectronics at the Military University of Technology, who have launched the project ”TeraLink – A terahertz wireless link for ultra-fast data transmission.”
How can complex research be presented in just a few minutes and without the aid of scientific props? This is the challenge faced by participants in the Three Minute Thesis® (3MT®) competition. This year, the competition will be held at the Warsaw University of Technology for the third time, but for the first time in an expanded format, jointly organized with the Medical University of Warsaw. The agreement to this effect was signed by Prof. Mariusz Malinowski, Vice-Rector for Research at the Warsaw University of Technology, and Prof. Marcin Sobczak, Vice-Rector for Research and Technology Transfer at the Medical University of Warsaw.
A project fostering cooperation between the worlds of science and business in the printing sector has been launched at the Warsaw University of Technology.

The inauguration event brought together representatives of our University and national organizations, as well as experts from across Europe and China.
The statistics are alarming — approximately 1.2 million people in Poland are living with heart failure, and forecasts indicate a further increase in the incidence of this condition. It represents a major clinical, social, and economic challenge. A team of researchers from the Warsaw University of Technology and the University of Łódź will soon begin work on a device designed to support regular, accurate, and patient-friendly diagnostics, providing assistance to both patients and physicians.
