On-line application for M.Sc. program Biomaterials is open until December 16, 2019

The issue is serious. Ice formation and build-up can be a lethal danger in many spheres of life. The risk is still greater if icing occurs on aerodynamic surfaces of aircraft flying at a high speed or on wind turbines, or on key parts of electrical wiring. Rafał Kozera, DSc, Eng. of the Warsaw University of Technology, Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering, has an idea how to solve this problem.

May 5, 2018, is a date to remember. The date marked the launch of the NASA InSight mission to explore the deep interior of the Red Planet. Making its way to Mars is an instrument called HP3 Mole. The people behind the device include associates of the Warsaw University of Technology.

Soon, for the first time in human history, the Philae lander module of the European Rosetta mission will commence geological research on the surface of it's destination comet. It will be penetrated by MUPUS, a lander of outstanding mechanical parameters, achieved thanks to a surface engineering method developed at WUT's Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering.

A team from WUT’s Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering under supervision of Prof. Marcin Leonowicz, together with the Military Institute of Armament Technology and the Institute of Security Technologies MORATEX in Łódź has been working on this invention as part of the Innovative Economy Programme –    “Smart passive body armour with application of rheological fluids with nano structures”  (SmartArmour) project.

A team from the Warsaw University of Technology Faculty of Material Science and Engineering headed by Krzysztof Wasiak, M.Sc., Eng., is working on a new generation of nanocrystalline steel. Once developed, such steel stands a good chance of being implemented for production, primarily in tool manufacturing, but also in manufacturing of vital parts of machines and wear-and-tear products.

The Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering of the Warsaw University of Technology has once again been chosen the best faculty in Poland which provides the field of study Materials Engineering, according to the 2019 Ranking of Engineering Studies of the Perspektywy monthly.

MXene phases are a young group of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials with intermediate properties between metals and ceramics, explored to a limited extent so far. Since their appearance, comprehensive research is carried out at the Warsaw University of Technology.

In March 2019, a new spin-off company called "ADJ Nanotechnology” Sp. z o.o. was established. The company's activity is related to the growing demand of the printing industry for innovative nanomaterials with designed bioactive properties. The company specializes in the production of bioactive nanocomposite powders for use as a raw material in the production of materials with self-sterilizing properties.

provides the best education in the field of study Materials Engineering in Poland
