Ryszard Horodecki and Michał Parniak awarded by PTF

The Polish Physical Society has announced this year's PTF prize winners - Ryszard Horodecki from the University of Gdansk was honoured with the prize for his outstanding contribution to the foundations of quantum information theory. Meanwhile, Michal Parniak from the University of Warsaw received the award for a series of scientific papers that develop techniques for controlling the interaction of light with matter.

Polish-Taiwanese semiconductor panel

Representatives and members of the PPTF and the Microelectronics, Electronics and Photonics Cluster took part in a semiconductor industry panel held as part of the Poland-Taiwan Business Roundtable, organised in Warsaw by the Polish Investment and Trade Agency (PAIH). The topics of debate - and subsequent backstage discussions - included investment prospects, industrial cooperation and student exchange.

VIGO Photonics expands production capacity

Photoelectrocatalytic decomposition of water

Researchers at the Military University of Technology have published new research into the creation of Au/TiO2-based photoelectrocatalyst materials. The new materials use solar energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, potentially accelerating the energy transition.

New method for measuring quantum entanglement

An international team of researchers, including scientists from the University of Warsaw's Faculty of Physics, has developed a technique that allows pairs of quantum entangled particles to be studied even when detection is only possible for one of them.

PhotonHub Europe

PhotonHub Europe (PHE) is a Europe-wide support network for entrepreneurs who want to incorporate innovative photonic solutions into their products or processes. Supported by national PhotonHubs, the 36 top European technology centres offer information and training, business support, support in raising funding and a wide network of contacts - and above all the opportunity to experiment, test and develop technologies (including scaling up production). PhotonHub also comprehensively supports startups. However, the main part of its offer is high-end technology services, available at a very significant discount thanks to EU funding.

These services are available to all entities in the EU, with a special focus on SMEs. The PPTF is the Polish partner of PHE as the national photonics hub.

Bio-printing technology development supported by team from the Warsaw University of Technology

PhotonHub has published another video testimonial from a company that has benefited from Deep Tech Support. BIO INX, a Belgian spinoff from the Universities of Brussels and Ghent, commercialising 3D bioprinting and biofabrication materials, has successfully completed a project with technological support provided by a team of experts from the Warsaw University of Technology.
