Professor Łukasz Albrecht was awarded the Stanisław Kostanecki - prestigious award granted for outstanding achievements in organic chemistry. The ceremony took place during the 64th Congress of the Polish Chemical Society which brought together 650 scientists. Prof. Albrecht, as special guest, gave a plenary lecture on the tools used to create chemical diversity, i.e. organocatalytic cycloadditions, which is a way of accelerating a special type of chemical reactions.

Professor Łukasz Albrecht from Lodz University of Technology was awarded the Stanisław Kostanecki Medal during the 64th Congress of the Polish Chemical Society in Lublin. This prestigious award is granted for outstanding achievements in organic chemistry and is only given to one scientist each year.
The academic holidays in 2022 allowed for extremely interesting, pioneering work in the field of quantum information at the Lodz University of Technology. At the Department of Semiconductor and Optoelectronic Devices of the Faculty of Electrical, Electronic, Computer and Control Engineering, for the first time in Łódź, tests of cryptographic transmissions were carried out using QKD (Quantum Key Distribution) devices.

Lodz University of Technology, in a consortium with business partners from Poland and Turkey, will develop a household wind turbine capable of cooperation and integration with other renewable energy sources. The National Centre for Research and Development and the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey have granted more than €300,000 for the research.
The appearance of pathogenic nucleosides in mitochondrial RNA molecules can cause severe dysfunction of mitochondria, which are the energy centres of our cells. Their damage gives rise to symptoms of hypertension, type 2 diabetes and Leber hereditary neuropathy of the optic nerve (LHON). Researchers at the Faculty of Chemistry of Lodz University of Technology, under the direction of Assoc. Prof. Grazyna Leszczynska, are looking to identify the cause of these dysfunctions at the molecular level.
Lodz University of Technology is the leader of a project implemented together with business partners from Poland and Turkey. The aim of the consortium is to develop a home-based wind turbine capable of cooperation and integration with other Renewable Energy Sources.
New computational tools based on the DMRG (density matrix renormalization group) method will be created at the Institute of Physics of Lodz University of Technology in cooperation with scientists from the Czech Academy of Sciences, within the framework of the OPUS LAP project funded by the National Science Centre and the Czech Science Foundation.
In the new edition of the Erasmus+ programme for activities with non-affiliated (non-EU) third countries, Lodz University of Technology will receive funding to carry out exchanges with universities in 18 countries on almost all continents.
This is the question Professor Halina Abramczyk of the Interdepartmental Institute of Radiation Technology at the Faculty of Chemistry of Lodz University of Technology is seeking to answer. The National Science Centre has awarded her nearly PLN 1.5 million for research into the recognition of cell signals in cancer.
