IN NATURAL SCIENCES

The research direction of nanomaterials in natural sciences combines basic and applied research, advanced technologies, including hi-tech analysis of not only environmental pollutants. Great emphasis is also placed on the synthesis and testing of various nanomaterials and their verification in practical applications, especially in the areas of water purification and remediation.

The Department of Nanochemistry uses the tools of organic and inorganic chemistry for the preparation and chemical modification of nanomaterials, especially nanoparticles and nanofibers.

  • From wastewater back to production. Technology that is transforming industrial water recycling

    From wastewater back to production. Technology that is transforming industrial water recycling

    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…

    Behind the Scenes of Digitalization: Bringing Together Companies and Experts

    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…

  • SmartMold: Faster Production? With a Smart Mold

    SmartMold: Faster Production? With a Smart Mold

    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…

  • A Toxic Past as an Opportunity? SURRI Shows a New Way

    A Toxic Past as an Opportunity? SURRI Shows a New Way

    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,…

    He left the wood to the woodcarvers. The biathlete opted for 3D printing and his own design

    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…

  • We can detect pathogens in water within a few hours

    We can detect pathogens in water within a few hours

    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…

  • Perfect glide, long tracks in nature. PFAS and the search for solutions

    Perfect glide, long tracks in nature. PFAS and the search for solutions

    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…

    A book that travels. Voices that remain

    On International Day of Women and Girls in Science (February 11), CXI TUL is launching a new community project aimed at connecting women in science through shared experiences and mutual inspiration. It is based on a simple but powerful principle: one book, twelve female scientists, and twelve voices over the course of a year. The…

    Behind the Curtain of Digitalization: A Conference That Will Show the Reality of Digital Transformation

    Today, digitization has a fundamental impact on the functioning of companies, public institutions, and entire regions. It is no longer just about introducing new technologies—the key is understanding the context, impact, and real possibilities for their practical application. These are the issues that will be addressed at the Behind the Curtain of Digitization conference, which…
