In the Netherlands, radioactive substances and ionizing radiation are widely used in sectors such as medicine, industry, agriculture, research, education, and energy production. These applications inevitably produce radioactive waste. Under current Dutch policy, this waste must be ... En savoir plus

Thermal flow meters represent a vast range of sensors for applications in oil and gas, sustainable energy, food and medical care markets, where precise control of the mass flow is required. As a part of the MEMS production process, testing is performed after product assembly. Due to high ... En savoir plus

Large arrays, typically consisting of thousands of devices, made from thin film PZT MEMS technology are increasingly being used in several applications including industrial inkjet printers, adaptive optics and so on. Thin film PZT is attractive because of lower operating voltages and ... En savoir plus

Artificial cascades for the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) to form value-added products are a developing technology, in which mass transport, reaction rates, local microenvironment and concentrations are all crucial parameters. These properties are highly dependent on the ... En savoir plus

The modern microjet engine industry faces an ultimate constraint - a lack of physical platform for innovation, a need to completely develop new, existing technology to eventually test theory. Hence our proposal and development of a framework micro jet engine to be used as a platform for ... En savoir plus

Spinal cord injury triggers an initial inflammatory response followed by scar tissue formation, hindering the repair of severed neural tracts and sensorimotor function.1 Injectable hydrogels consisting of a water-swollen polymer network can be engineered to mimic the environment of ...

In the nuclear fuel industry, the dry conversion process is employed to transform crystalline UF6 to UO2 powder, in order to produce fuel pellets. The quality of the finished product highly depends on the process input parameters, and it is imperative to understand accurately the full ... En savoir plus

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become a major choice for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems owing to their high energy density and high charging efficiency. While LIBs play a crucial role in meeting global energy demand, during long-term operation they undergo ... En savoir plus

As the global energy transition accelerates, large-scale seasonal thermal energy storage systems are becoming critical components of future sustainable and resilient district heating networks. Among various storage technologies, cavern thermal energy storage (CTES) offers a promising ... En savoir plus

The Reelwell Drilling Method (RDM) represents an innovative and energy-efficient approach to directional drilling (Rajabi et al. 2009; Belarde and Vestavik 2011; Breivik et al. 2020). RDM has been particularly successful in enhancing MPD and ERD. The technology enables constant well ... En savoir plus
