Can light help purify water? 💧
CEITEC @vut.cz scientists used a light-activated material made from urea to break down pollutants, achieving up to 97% efficiency in lab tests. A step towards gentler water treatment 🌱

🔬 Four @ceitec.eu @vut.cz researchers presented advanced ceramics research at ACA XIV in Belgrade – from sintering and optical ceramics to lead-free BaTiO₃ and high-entropy carbides. The conference opened new opportunities for joint experiments and collaboration. #GlaCerHub #CEITECScience
At Night of Science 2026, @ceitec.eu @vut.cz visitors explored multifunctional ceramics in mobile phones. Children compared ceramic transparency and hardness with those of glass and plastics. Thanks to #MULTIMAT3D and #Ceraprint for ceramic and multimaterial 3D-printed samples! #CEITECScience
Could glue help repair shattered bones? 🦴 Researchers at CEITEC @vut.cz are testing a fully resorbable adhesive inspired by mussels. It could reattach tiny bone fragments often removed during surgery. Preclinical testing is underway 🔬
