Breakthrough way to train neuromorphic chips

“Using a biosensor to detect cystic fibrosis as the test case, TU/e researchers have devised an innovative way to train neuromorphic chips as presented in a new paper in Nature Electronics. Neuromorphic computers – which are based on the structure …

With light into the nanoworld

“It sounds like trying to scan a record with a hammer: light is actually too “coarse” to image small particles on the nanometer scale. However, in their project “SuperCol”- funded by the European Union - scientists want to achieve just that …

Highly sensitive measurement technique leads to better solar cell

“Solar energy is becoming an increasingly popular source of renewable energy. Current solar panels with silicon as their primary component are affordable and reliable. However, the use of a relatively new material, perovskite, could dramatically improve the solar cell’s …

This mathematician went to infinity to bridge two ways of looking at the world

“What happens if you put many particles together, take a few steps back, and squint your eyes a bit? Jasper Hoeksema tried to find out. Particles tend to behave differently once there are a lot of them. The microscopic models …

Cardboard with a more sustainable coating

“Sterre Bakker defends her thesis at the department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry on January 27, 2023. On average we open seven packaged items per day, most of them food items. All of this together makes for a mountain of …

Electron pairing in quantum dots as new approach to qubit research

“Publication in Nature demonstrates promising method towards building the foundation for a future quantum computer. Scientists from QuTech and Eindhoven University of Technology have taken a next step in qubit research. Qubits are one of the building blocks of a …

Skin and hair in 3D

“Mathematician Alessio Gallucci improves the mapping of human skin by using models and deep learning. With just a scan of your face and a little basic data, such as height and weight, mathematician Alessio Gallucci can produce a complete body …

Four terminal perovskite-silicon PV tandem devices hit 30% efficiency

“TNO, TU Eindhoven, imec and TU Delft, partners in Solliance, joined forces to further push the conversion efficiency of tandem solar cells to beyond the limits of today’s commercial photovoltaic (PV) modules. For the first time, four-terminal perovskite/silicon …

Artificial skin sweats on command

“The sophisticated artificial skin sweats where and how much the researchers want it to. This was reported in an Angewandte Chemie article by Danqing Liu and first author Yuanyuan Zhan. Following the breakthrough with their first sweating artificial skin two …

The 4D-printed beetle that changes color when it gets wetter

“How iridescent animals are leading the way to smart sensors. 3D printing has become mainstream. For a few hundred euros you can buy a 3D printer online. But what about 4D printing? How do you print an object that can …
