Nanofiber filters are a very current topic at this time. How do we manage to improve their production and durability through plasma treatment? Read more in the interview with dr. David Pavliňák.
CEPLANT scientists have devised a technique that facilitates the production of nanofibre mask filters. Now, with the help of a grant from the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic (TAČR), they are verifying how the plasma-treated surface of the filter handles temperature fluctuations, storage, and other "pitfalls" of commercial production. For more, read the interview with our colleague dr. David Pavliňák, a research and development worker at the CEPLANT Centre and coordinator of the project dealing with the modification of nanofiber filters for industrial use. The full interview is available here.
Our scientists participated in the 10th European Symposium on Plasma Chemistry (CESPC 2025) held in Bucharest, Romania. The Department of Plasma Physics and Technology was represented by Assoc. Prof. Dušan Kováčik with Dr. Jakub Kelar from the Plasma Nanotechnologies and Bioapplications research group. Along with them participated our colleagues Dr. Petra Šrámková, Dr. Oleksandr Galmiz and PhD student Jiří Fujera.
A dream come true — and a scientific challenge. Jan Skácel, a PhD student in plasma physics at the Faculty of Science, Masaryk University, completed a prestigious one-month internship at NASA Ames Research Center in California. As part of the team at the Arc Jet Complex, he contributed to modeling boundary conditions for simulations of extreme aerodynamic phenomena, which NASA uses to improve the safety and accuracy of satellites re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere.
