Novel highly transparent metal oxides to enable 25% conversion efficiency for industrially viable silicon solar cells

In this VENI project an experimental pathway is created to enable the fabrication of crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells with a conversion efficiency of more than 25% in an industrially viable way...
Increasing the Capacity of Optical Nonlinear Interfering Channels (ICONIC)

Fibre optics currently carry more than 99% of the Internet traffic across the globe, and thus, are critical infrastructure for society. Due to the large bandwidth available in optical fibre...
Modelling of dynamic solid particle bed and liquid behaviour - applied to the blast furnace hearth

The blast furnace is quite possibly the most intricate multiphase system. With high temperature liquid iron and slag, burden particles and reduction gases; enormous volume and different sections with...
A Numerical-Experimental Study on chemo-mechanical degradation of COncrete sewer Pipes (NESCOP)

The current design practice of sewer systems is not sufficient to capture the effects of the chemical processes induced by the aggressive nature of wastewater on the mechanical response...
Multi-scale understanding and control of spray drying processes

Spray drying is a widely adopted technology in food industry to make stable agglomerated powders. Despite its widespread use, the operation and design of spray dryers is usually obtained by...
Molecular Gecko: Engineering multifunctional antibody anchors for affinity biosensing

Rapid and cost-effective immobilization of antibodies on solid surfaces with full retention of antibody activity is an important challenge in biosensing and immunoassay applications...
Power-to-Gas Enhancing the conversion and energy-efficiency of electrically-driven dissociation of CO2 for fuel synthesis by synergistic integration of plasmolysis, electrolysis and membrane separation

Power-to-gas (P2G) is a storage technology aiming to convert surplus electricity from renewable energy sources like wind and solar power into gaseous fuels compatible with the current network...
Locate: Integrated platform to design novel cancer localization strategies by ultrasound microvasculature imaging

About one in two men and one in three women will develop cancer in their lifetime. Successfully combating cancer requires imaging, treatment and monitoring of the tumor. Recently, a promising approach...
STENTiT: Regenerative Stents

The stent market is a multibillion-dollar landscape where technological developments over the years have led to improved stent generations, saving the lives of millions of patients...
Enabling widespread ambulatory monitoring for improved pregnancy outcome

6 January 2016

Research High-risk pregnancies are associated with serious morbidity and mortality rates for the newborn. Nowadays, no fewer than 1 in 5 pregnancies are complicated and classified as high-risk...
