Each year, around 185 thousand people worldwide undergo amputation. It is estimated that this number will double by 2050. A team from the Warsaw University of Technology is working on a universal and cheap hand prosthesis, the elements of which would be replaceable and could "grow" with the user.

We inform that employees and doctoral students of the Warsaw University of Technology may apply for financial support for the publication of articles in journals as part of this year's edition of the Open Science program by the end of November 2021.

At present, from the perspective of optical fibre communications, we need further progress in eliminating certain defects of photonic systems under research, such as insufficiently quick response time to the external electric field (tens of milliseconds) and the necessity to use high steering voltage due to a big diameter of the photonic optical fibre (hundreds of volts). Scientists at WUT are working on solving these problems. Their research project is implemented as part of the FOTECH-2 research grant funded within the programme ‘Excellence Initiative – Research University’ implemented at the Warsaw University of Technology.

Thank you for 167 submitted applications.

With a growing number of people suffering from melanoma, scientists worldwide are researching an effective therapy to prevent drug resistance among patients. A team of researchers from the Warsaw University of Technology is also a part of this group. 

In the competition for projects aiming to purchase equipment, 22 projects will receive fundings.

Sports activities 100% co-financed by the Warsaw University of Technology.

Scientists from the Faculty of Physics have published in the journal Physics Letters B the latest results of their research on changes in the characteristics of the strong interaction between ordinary matter and strange matter change. 

The international collaboration of the AEgIS experiment at CERN has nominated dr Georgy Kornakov, assistant professor of the Physics Faculty of PW, on 14/9/2021 for the Convenership for Physics with Antiprotonic Atoms. This position will be shared with Dr Giovanni Cerchiari from the University of Innsbruck. This nomination strengthens the leadership position of the PW team within the AEgIS experiment.

Increasingly, Na-ion batteries have generated a lot of interest over the years due to their low production costs and the ease of obtaining raw materials, among other things. Unfortunately, because of their poor durability and unsatisfactory electrochemical capacity, they are still not seen as a reliable alternative to the most popular and expensive lithium-ion cells.  Researchers at WUT are working on solving this problem. Their project is being implemented under ENERGYTECH-1 research grant.

The closing date for the submission of applications is 31 October 2021.

In the second edition of the competition, 44 best scientific papers will receive fundings.

Under the Mobility PW programme, mobilities shall be financed, i.e., internships and study visits, trips related to learning how to use unique research equipment, trips related to conducting scientific research for a doctoral thesis, participation in summer/winter schools, courses, and workshops. The closing date for applications for the competition I is 20 September 2021.
