Scientists are developing special surfaces that prevent microorganisms from adhering. Their surface communities, called biofilms, often contaminate medical equipment or damage industrial facilities. Experts from the Faculty of Science at…

The LasApp project was prominently represented at the international workshop Laser Innovative Technologies, organized by the Czech Optical Cluster in Dolní Břežany. On Wednesday, June 5 at ELI-Beamlines and on…

The LasApp project wants to effectively support lasers and thus the technological development of the Czech Republic. It will connect excellent research centres of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Charles University and other institutions and will focus on the most modern fibre and thin-disc lasers, which are applied e.g. in engineering, medicine and defence systems.

On January 18th, in the building of the Institute of Photonics and Electronics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, the main coordinator of the project, an introductory meeting with the project partners took place. The project LasApp: Breakthrough Laser Technologies for Smart Manufacturing, Space and Bio-Tech Applications succeeded in a tough competition in the Excellent Research call of the Programme Johannes Amos Comenius, co-financed by the European Union. The project started on 1 January 2024 and will run until 2028.
