Here you will find a chronologically sorted list of the most important published scientific achievements.
The team from the Research Group of Catalysis and Reaction Engineering focused on developing new catalysts for the abatement of volatile organic compounds, which belong to the major air pollutants. The study, recently published in Catalysis Today, presents a unique use of polybenzimidazole nanofibers produced by electrospinning as a support for pla…
Studying turbulent boundary layers using experimental measurement techniques remains a challenging task even today. The area in the immediate vicinity of a solid surface, known as the laminar sublayer, presents a particular challenge. The method must primarily enable obtaining local values of the studied quantities while maintaining a non-invasive …
The carbon cycle in the Arctic atmosphere is important in understanding abrupt climate changes occurring in this region. Dr. Petr Vodička from the Research Group of Aerosol Chemistry and Physics, together with colleagues from Japan and Canada, was the main author of a study on carbonates in the atmosphere of the Canadian Arctic. Two years…
In the Research Group of Microreactors, we have developed a new method for preparing a compound derived from ergot, which is used in the production of nicergoline, a drug for the treatment of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The reaction takes place in a two-phase immiscible liquid system using phase transfer catalysis (PTC). Ultrasound was …
In their Physical Review E article, prof. Malijevský et al. present a detailed theoretical and numerical study of complete wetting and drying phenomena at sinusoidally corrugated walls. By analyzing how interfacial adsorption behaves near saturation, the authors uncover how wall geometry and interaction range determine the structure of fluid inter…
The Research Group of Algal and Microbial Biotechnology has long been exploring the potential uses of microalgae in the food industry. Research led by Dr. Irena Brányiková in collaboration with the University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague, recently published in the prestigious biotechnology journal Journal of Applied Phycology, is focused o…
