Information

Energy absorbers are used to reduce the impact of a vehicle crash, primarily to protect the health and lives of passengers. The CRASH-BOX project, carried out by Łukasiewicz - PIMOT and Łukasiewicz - ILOT, developed innovative absorber designs that can be successfully implemented on the automotive, railway, and aviation markets. Their greatest advantages are much lower weight and the use of innovative thermoplastic composite technology.

It ensures high efficiency, is cheaper than other methods, and works well in even the most difficult soil conditions. Bioremediation is a technology that will double the amount of creosote oil in the soil in a year.

Glowing frogs from a 3D printer, biopolymer capsules and non-woven fabric produced with spunbond technology – children and youth from Rybnik and Sieradz, under the supervision of Łukasiewicz experts, gained new knowledge and skills.

Patient convenience and an answer to healthcare staff shortages are the main advantages of the solution that Piotr Falkowski of Łukasiewicz - PIAP is working on. We have completed the first tests of this solution, and their results are very promising.

We talk to Julia Wilk about women in technical sciences, her experiences of working in a man's world and the projects she is developing.

A series of workshops for secondary school students from the Łódź region is being launched in March. The initiative aims to popularise new technologies and encourage young people to take an interest in the world of science.

We continue work on this material at Lukasiewicz - IMiF (Institute of Microelectronics and Photonics). It has been sold under the G-Flake® brand for more than a year.
