Researchers from Gdańsk University of Technology, supervised by Prof. Mohammad Reza Saeb, conduct research on inexpensive, fireproof and electrically conductive materials made of used car tires and carbon fillers. 3D printed thermoplastic composites can be used, among others, in electronics, automotive and construction industries. The research team from Gdańsk University of Technology are among the world's leading researchers in the field of waste tires recycling.

Environmentally friendly and low-cost methods of recycling of the used car tires are one of the greatest environmental challenges. Ground tire rubber (GTR) is currently used, among others, as modifiers or fillers in preparation of polymer composites, in asphalt or concrete for the needs of various branches of the industry.

Gdańsk University of Technology is once again one of the Polish technical universities that received the status of Academic Partner of the Women in Tech Summit conference, organized by the "Perspektywy" Educational Foundation. During the fourth edition of the event, five women will appear among the representatives of Gdańsk Tech: three scientists from the Faculty of Applied Physics and Mathematics: Natalia Wójcik, PhD, Marta Prześniak-Welenc, PhD, Małgorzata Nadolska, MSc, Justyna Sudakowska and Atoosa Bahrani from the International Relations Office at Gdańsk Tech.

The aim of the Women in Tech Summit project is to support innovation processes in the field of IT and new technologies, as well as the international promotion of Poland as a place of high-quality IT education.

Technology improving the effectiveness of radiation therapy for treatment of cancer and other diseases

Prof. Marek Maryański is the creator of one of the most innovative methods of imaging the 3D dose distributions of ionizing radiation in gel phantoms, which can be used, inter alia, in radiotherapy of neoplastic diseases. Currently, together with a team of researchers and students of Gdańsk University of Technology, they are working on a methodology and technology to improve the effectiveness of hadrontherapy. The aim of the research is to develop new solutions for oncology clinics all over the world.

– The success of next-generation radiotherapy, which will increasingly use protons and heavier ionizing particles, showing greater biological effectiveness than the most commonly used X-ray or gamma photons, depends largely on the ability to quickly and accurately measure spatial distributions of doses and other important parameters.

Italian government scholarships for students and researchers

Italy
Until Thursday, June 9, students, PhD students and researchers can submit applications for the scholarship program offered by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Italy, as part of activities aimed at developing international cooperation in the field of culture, science and technology and promoting the Italian language and culture in the world, offers scholarships for students and researchers who wish to pursue second-cycle studies (6-9 months) , internships for PhD students (6-9 months) and language courses in Italy in the 2022-2023 academic

"The Game" – painting installation on artificial intelligence

A fragment of a painting installation entitled "The Game"
In the hall of building number 42 of the Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications and Informatics, we can admire a monumental painting installation entitled "The Game". Its theme is artificial intelligence, which is the motto of the Faculty's jubilee celebrations. The composition was prepared by artists from the Department of Visual Arts, Faculty of Architecture: prof. Jan Buczkowski, Dominika Krechowicz, PhD, DSc, Edyta Urwanowicz, PhD and prof. Krzysztof Wróblewski, originator of the concept.

In the development of artificial intelligence applications, one of the turning points is the Go board game match, which took place in 2016 between the intelligent AlphaGo program and the world champion Lee Sedol. The arrangement of pawns for two of the five games played in the match – the one won and lost by Lee Sedol, was chosen as a starting point for creating the installation entitled “The Game", placed in the FETI hall.

Green chemistry - a chance for alternative CO2 sequestration

Green chemistry
Carbon sequestration technologies are still being modified and scientists worldwide are working on improving them or introducing new ideas. While fulfilling their main function of absorbing carbon dioxide, many of the CO2 absorbents currently used have various disadvantages, and some of them, at the same time, are harmful to the natural environment. Researchers from Gdańsk University of Technology are working on creation of an ionic liquid that will absorb harmful gas without adversely affecting the environment.

Ionic liquids are substances with special properties. They are consistent with the assumptions of the green chemistry. Properties that characterize modern ionic liquids are the following: negligible vapor pressure, high thermal stability (high decomposition temperatures), low melting points and low toxicity. These properties allow wide use in various fields of industry and scientific research. This raises high hopes in the energy industry. They are used in outlet points from various processes, where they can purify gases, e.g.
