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.

This was the third such contract for the Brno scientists, who have previously produced customised equipment for a large Japanese car company and a German university.

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.

Exhibits from BUT will also be on display in the Czech pavilion at the Expo 2020 World Exhibition. Experts from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering have sent a robot to Dubai to demonstrate 3D printing from an innovative biopolymer, 3D printed blocks for a green wall and a project to present an easy way to clean seas and oceans from plastics. There will also be a robotic rescuer from the Faculty of Information Technology who can find a person in a landslide or under an avalanche. Expo 2020 starts in the United Arab Emirates with a one-year delay on October 1 and will last until March 31 next year.

Today at the Brno University of Technology, the last elements of the parkour playground dedicated by Stavební spořitelna of Česká spořitelna (Buřinka) to the City District of Prague 11 were printed on a frame 3D printer. 12.5 t of a special concrete mixture from Master Builders Solutions CZ was needed for the printing, which took place in the Laboratory of Construction 3D Printing at the AdMaS Centre of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and lasted 10 hours of clean time. The printed obstacles are poured with recycled rebetong concrete for reinforcement. As another step to support innovation, Buřinka became one of the founding members of the Association of Innovative Technologies and 3D Printing in Construction.
