Tens of millions of car radiators are produced annually in Europe alone. They are usually made of metal, but experts from the FME have been working for several years on the development of a completely new type of a radiator made of hollow polymer fibres.

Professor Jiří Jaromír Klemeš, from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering BUT, has been named on the annual Highly Cited Researchers 2020 list from Clarivate Analytics.

In case the aneurysm ruptures, half of the patients die. While smaller aneurysms are usually only closely watched by physicians, larger ones are usually operated on.

The researchers from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, the Brno University of Technology came up with an original way of solving the worldwide problem of joint wear.

A magnetorheological damper developed by Strojírna Oslavany with the researchers from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, the Brno University of Technology, is ten times faster than other dampers. In cooperation with Škoda Transportation from the PPF Group, they have also been tested.

Environment is said to be another victim of the novel coronavirus. Based on their research, researchers from an international team led by the experts from Brno University of Technology point out that plastics do not have to be automatically bad; it mainly depends on how they are handled.

The researchers from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, the Brno University of Technology came up with an original way of solving the age-old problem of cutting tool manufacturers. Their technology will help with the so-called deburring of the cutting edges, i.e. the finishing treatment of the cutting edges in the production of tools intended for machining various materials. The result of their work is an effective way to replace the original lengthy and problematic deburring process with new technology.

NASA published an image of the Neowise comet as its photo of the day on Saturday. The picture was taken by Czech photographer and mathematician Miloslav Druckmüller who is a professor at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Brno University of Technology. NASA´s Astronomy Picture of the Day is a prestigious award for space photographers.

Dry eye syndrome is one of the most common diseases that bring patients to the ophthalmologist's office. In addition, the number of patients is still growing. For milder forms of the disease, doctors prescribe the so-called artificial tears in the form of eye drops.

Researchers from the Department of Energy Engineering at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at BUT are now examining exactly how fibres behave when inhaled and how and where they settle in the lungs. They use their own unique lung model, one of the most advanced in the world, used by a number of scientific teams from around the world for testing and experiments.

He called it BE[A]ST, meaning "animal", or "best". When Filip Páral, a student of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the Brno University of Technology, wanted to evaluate in his bachelor's thesis which of the jets for fire sports is the best, he found out that none is ideal.
