Air pollution kills millions of people each year. According to recent estimates of the World Health Organization (WHO), for city dwellers around the globe, four-fifths live with air quality that exceeds WHO recommended pollution levels. This problem also includes the issue of air quality monitoring.

Delft University of Technology, Vienna University of Technology and Imperial College London. The three prestigious foreign universities are partners in the project, which will be coordinated by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of BUT.

Millimetre polymer hollow fibres serving as cooling channels in a heat exchanger earned the Brno University of Technology the Special Prize of the Gold Medal Committee.

Take any test tube, register its barcode, unscrew the lid, take a sample and move it, throw off the tip... the automated solution for the initial handling with samples openTube2.

Colleagues from the Institute of Production Machines, Systems and Robotics celebrate. The digital shadow of the BUD 100 MULTI multifunctional grinding machine, which they created in cooperation with TOS Čelákovice, has been successfully commercialized by selling a license. This is one of the R&D results of the MESTEC National Competence Centre project.

Searching for Earth-like planets in deep space is the objective of the European Space Agency's PLATO mission.

It may soon pay off for industrial companies to invest in technologies that help capture carbon dioxide from the flue gases, instead of paying for allowances that authorize them to emit greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

The so-called holographic micro-endoscopy is currently being tested on mice, but in the future the team would like this tissue-friendly and extremely detailed imaging method to be made available for use in human patients.

When Pavla Formánková smiles, it's a smile like from an advertisement. You certainly wouldn't tell about her how much she suffered with her teeth.

Working directly for the European Space Agency is not something that anyone does. However, this applies to Jakub Mašek and his colleagues from the Institute of Aerospace Engineering.

How do you make rail infrastructure more resilient to weather changes, extreme natural events and even terrorist attacks? This was one of the main questions of the RISEN project, thanks to which researchers from the Tribology Group at the Institute of Machine and Industrial Design of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (FME) at BUT were able to travel to Japan and China and exchange the latest knowledge and experience in this area with both private institutions and other universities. Although the project was interrupted by the pandemic, it was possible to take advantage of the established cooperation and turn it into further joint research projects.
