“Wing-Hin Wong defended his thesis at the department of Mechanical Engineering on September 22nd. A well-known method for making polymer materials is to blend or mix multiple polymers. For disperse blends, two liquid polymers do not mix well with each …
“TU/e is working with partners and companies on the production of electrolyzers that could enable large-scale use of green hydrogen. They have been around for a hundred years, but still, we barely understand electrolyzers. Significantly though, these devices can …
“Thanks to research at TU/e, the architect was able to work freely on the design and was not restricted by materials or traditional processes. The bridge was printed layer by layer in the concrete printing factory of Saint Gobain …
“Our researchers have developed a new way to make magnetic artificial so-called cilia comparable in size to real cilia that could be used in future microfluidic devices and sensors. Cilia are tiny hairs used in transport and sensing in the …
“It’s the end of the road for annoying loops and blisters in adhesives as our researchers help develop a model that shows how best to remove them. Besides being sticky, what do band aids and adhesive tapes have in …
“TU/e researchers have synthesized a liquid crystal ink to imitate structures in nature for possible applications in healthcare and lighting. Cholesteric liquid crystals, a man-made material with properties between liquids and solid crystals, can mimic the colors of butterfly …
“In the production of integrated circuits (computer chips), continuous innovation is essential to remain competitive. A major goal is to increase the productivity of photolithography machines, which is partly determined by their electromagnetic motors. PhD-candidate Bart Koolmees, from the TU …
“Frozen water can take on up to three forms at the same time when it melts: liquid, ice and gas. This principle, which states that many substances can occur in up to three phases simultaneously, was explained 150 years ago …
News Regular arrays of silicon nanoparticles key to improving light emissions in nanophotonic devices
“Paper from TU/e researchers selected to mark International Day of Light 2020 within nanophotonics field. Nanophotonics considers how light and matter at the nanoscale interact with each other, with findings in the field being important for nanofabrication techniques and …
“Emitting light from silicon has been the ‘Holy Grail’ in the microelectronics industry for decades. Solving this puzzle would revolutionize computing, as chips will become faster than ever. Researchers from Eindhoven University of Technology now succeeded: they have developed an …
