We flush it down the toilet. We clean it up. But the micropollutants remain.
Medications, cosmetics, and everyday chemicals disappear from our homes into the trash. But they don’t disappear completely. They often end up in the water.

A laser that can adjust itself—and recognize when it has made a mistake
Scientists at CXI TUL are developing laser systems that can operate without a technician present. The laser adjusts itself precisely as needed and uses sound to determine whether the process is proceeding correctly. Research in the LasApp project is aimed at both space applications and everyday manufacturing. Adjusting a laser is delicate work. If a…

Beads with a nanofiber core. This is a better way to purify water.
Wastewater treatment plants struggle every day with substances that don’t simply disappear from the water. The removal of nitrogen compounds is very important at these plants. If too much of these substances remains in the water, they harm rivers and the life within them. Karel Havlíček from CXI TUL was a co-investigator on the HYMNA…

“Baby bags? That’s how the journey to a product begins,” says Miroslava Rysová
A bizarre email about “baby bags,” skin-friendly laundry sheets, or eye drops with nanoparticles. Research by Miroslava Rysová and the Department of Applied Biology at CXI TUL shows that the path from laboratory research to a practical product is often surprising, challenging, but frequently much more pragmatic than companies initially imagine. When did you first…
