Cleaning up a contaminated site isn’t just about taking action; it’s mainly about correctly interpreting what’s happening beneath the surface. That’s where the decision is made as to whether the intervention will be fast, effective, and cost-efficient. A new project is therefore relying on artificial intelligence to uncover hidden connections from available information and help…

How good is the weld or surface finish on my product or a product I received? Was the defect caused by improper handling, or did the product have a hidden material defect? These are examples of questions that the team at the TUL CXI University Research Institute can resolve very quickly. Thanks to the SUPPORT4SME…

Membrane modules that return valuable substances from wastewater back to production while protecting the environment. A team from CXI TUL is working on their development in collaboration with MEGA Group and MemBrain. When designing new industrial equipment, they use computer modeling and 3D printing, which speeds up, refines, and reduces the cost of the entire…

Artificial intelligence, law, cybersecurity, and concrete experiences from digital transformation. The Behind the Curtain of Digitalization conference in Liberec demonstrated that digitalization is no longer merely a technological topic, but a key factor in the competitiveness of companies, institutions, and regions. The conference program offered a diverse perspective on digitalization from various angles. Topics discussed…

The SmartMold project demonstrates that a mold doesn’t have to be just a rigid tool that holds the product’s shape. It’s much better if it’s an active part of the entire process. It can heat itself and help control production so that it’s faster, more precise, and more cost-effective. 3D printing, molds, simulation, recycling In…

There are places that seem like reminders of mistakes that can never be undone. Old uranium mines, contaminated water, and landscapes scarred by industry. But this is precisely where a turning point is emerging. After three intensive years, the SURRI project demonstrates that old mining sites need not be merely symbols of an ecological debt,…

The Center for Nanomaterials, Advanced Technologies, and Innovation at CXI TUL has published its Sustainability/CSR report for 2025. It provides an overview of specific data and activities that reflect our approach to responsible operations in the areas of people, the environment, research, and social responsibility. People and culture In 2025, CXI TUL had 194 employees.…

When your sports equipment fits you like a glove, you know it right away. This is undoubtedly true in biathlon. A rifle is not just a piece of equipment, but an extension of the body. And it was precisely this requirement that junior biathlete František Jelínek came to CXI TUL with: he wanted a custom-made…

Until now, water analysis results took several days, but with the new method based on qPCR analysis, we have results within five hours. Speed can be absolutely crucial in taking effective measures to protect health. The new method detects and identifies the DNA of pathogenic microorganisms, so there is no need to cultivate bacteria in…

Groomed trails, the silence of the Jizera Mountains, cross-country skis gliding almost by themselves. But this perfect glide has a downside. The substances that have helped cross-country skiers achieve better riding characteristics for decades remain in nature practically forever. Per- and polyfluorinated substances, known by the abbreviation PFAS, have long been used in cross-country ski…
