The range and accessibility of products are changing, yet, what remains are problems with faults and their diagnosis. Professor Michał Tadeusiewicz and dr hab. inż. Stanisław Hałgas, prof. PŁ, of TUL’s Institute of Electrical Engineering Systems, have been working on detecting faults in electronic devices all of us use daily such as TV sets and phones.
Whereas mathematics inevitably brings to mind a tough school subject and lessons you only wish to forget about once you have left school, it turns out that when it comes to looking for love it might as well come to our aid. How could that be possible? Dr inż. Jakub Szczepaniak, an extraordinarily popular teacher who works at TUL's International Faculty of Engineering (IFE) and Center for Mathematics and Physics, explains.

Scientists from Lodz University of Technology and the Technical University in Dortmund have been working on an innovative technology of antibody production in bioreactors. The antibodies will come to our aid in fighting cancer. The technology will accelerate the production process and render it less expensive. Professor Andrzej Górak, an ordinary member of ACATECH - German National Academy of Science and Engineering, talks about this international project.
Lodz University of Technology scientists have been working on developing environmentally-friendly packaging that will provide full protection of products.
Professor Paneth is an internationally renowned expert on isotope effects. The scientist conducts ground-breaking research on their wide application in many different areas from authentication of food products to medicine. Today, results of isotope applications in liver cancer diagnosis are eagerly anticipated. "By investigating isotopes, we will be able to determine the stage of the disease and its prognosis. That's what doctors and patients have been waiting for", the scientist explains.
