A team of scientists headed by Prof. Tomasz Czyszanowski from the Institute of Physics, TUL, described the discovery of a new phenomenon involving the increase of optical power emitted by VCSEL lasers as a result of breaking their cylindrical symmetry. The latest issue of Nature Photonics recognizes the novelty and applicability of this discovery and dedicates to it an article from the News & Views series: "Asymmetry brings power boost".

A large part of society is already aware of how important a healthy diet is in our lives. However, we still have problems with the right choice of food and good quality products containing the so-called "good fats" that have a huge impact on our health. Researchers from the Institute of Food Technology and Analysis of Lodz University of Technology under the direction of Professor Grażyna Budryn have successfully taken up the challenge of implementing zero trans fats in the production of many types of food. New technologies and patents have been developed, making it possible, among other things, to produce the healthy sweet snacks that Prof. Budryn talks about.

Lodz University of Technology is participating in the FRONTSH1P project with a budget of 19 million Euros and a list of consortium members includes 34 institutions from Poland and Italy, Greece, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland. Companies and research centres will work on "green" technologies for a circular economy. The first working meeting of the partners took place on 17 November in Zatoka Sportu.

In mid of October, NCN has published the third list of eligible grants for MINIATURA 5. The project in the field of exact sciences and techniques, was qualified for funding together with three other projects for the Lodz University of Technology.
