Researchers at the Warsaw University of Technology have developed a technology that protects any surface from harmful microorganisms. The solution uses bioactive nanoparticle composites applied in the form of a permanent coating.

The pandemic period has demonstrated more clearly than ever how many health challenges there are. One of these is finding materials that can help limit the transmission of infectious diseases. The answer to this problem will be sought by the team of Agnieszka Krawczyńska, PhD, from the Faculty of Materials Engineering, WUT.

Our researchers will check it out

It's here! – perhaps such a message will be heard by the users of the application that will make it easier to navigate in the five buildings of the Warsaw University of Technology. Its concept was created by University employees, taking into account in particular the needs of people with disabilities.

Our researchers have created a solution that will not require the use of specialized transmitters. However, it will allow for quick and precise determination of the position of space stations, satellites, high-speed rockets or even junk collection.

Specialists from Belgium and Poland are working on a platform that will detect cancer at a very early stage. For this they use the unique properties of light and carbon nanomaterials. Researchers from the Faculty of Physics of the Warsaw University of Technology are involved in the project.

The team from Student Space Association has qualified for the international BEXUS competition

Students from the Power Engineers Research Association have created a smart energy meter overlay. The device will facilitate responsible and economical consumption of electrical energy.

An international and interdisciplinary team of researchers from Spain, Poland, Romania and Sweden will promote development of city gardens and agroforestry. The work of Polish scientists is managed by Maciej Lasocki, PhD, Arch., from the WUT Faculty of Architecture.

Researchers from the Warsaw University of Technology want to use artificial neural networks (ANN) to predict the properties of materials used for road surfaces. The project is implemented together with the Czech Technical University in Prague.

Researchers from the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology are working on a tool to detect undesirable behavior among people in pre-trial detention centers and penitentiaries. The solution is to be based on specially designed algorithms for automatic detection and prediction of events.

The development of two cancellous bone implants that will accelerate the treatment of patients, among others, with osteoporosis - is the goal of the BoneReg project. It is being carried out by a team of researchers from the Faculty of Chemistry at WUT, and can already boast of successes.

Forest fires have become a real plague in recent years. How to prevent them? Researchers from dozens of international institutions, including the Warsaw University of Technology, will look for solutions.

Mateusz Białek, Kamil Choromański and Jakub Łobodecki from the Faculty of Geodesy and Cartography created an app which opens up new possibilities for electric car users.

A special award in an international competition

Bartosz Źrebiec, a student of the Faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering, was the only representative of a Polish university to qualify for the prestigious ESA program and took part in the student rocket launch campaign.

Researches from the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology have developed a prototype of the Mobile Distribution Point of ICT Infrastructure (MPDIT). It is a dedicated vehicle that will be essential in the work of services wherever a critical situation may potentially take place or has already occurred. This includes natural disasters, floods, fires, mass events, large search parties, or even terrorist attacks.

As part of the project carried out with LOTOS Asfalt, the Faculty of Civil Engineering is developing an asphalt binder technology that will allow the reuse of materials from road renovation.

Scientists from the WUT Faculty of Mathematics and Information Science are working on improving identification of pathological changes visible in lung CT scans and x-rays. The project will aid doctors and patients.

In the second half of July, the Swiss mountain Pilatus turned into a space colony, where students from all over the world tested solutions prepared for the IGLUNA project. Among them were young researchers from the Warsaw University of Technology - the creators of the plant breeding module in unfavorable conditions.

Students at the Warsaw University of Technology have created Chefs’ – an app for easy management of recipes. Currently, they are developing a new module facilitating meal analysis.

The Innspace team, formed, among others, by one of our students, reached the finals of the international Student Aerospace Challenge competition. The team was awarded the Suborbital Day Special Prize for its work on radiation protection for passengers of a suborbital plane.
