Dutch research institutes TNO and DIFFER will be joining with Active Space Technologies (Europe) and DIFFER spin-off company Chromodynamics to develop a diagnostic tool capable of measuring the impurity content of the plasma—important information for regulating neutral beam heating power on the nuclear fusion project IT

Friday 21 June the second Netherlands conference on Electrochemical Conversion & Materials (ECCM) will be organized by the ECCM advisory committee, appointed by the Dutch government.

It sounds like magic: you put a dedicated device in contact with air, expose it to sunlight and it starts producing fuel, for free.  That is the basic idea behind the fundamental research conducted by DIFFER, the Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research, in association with Toyota Motor Europe (TME).

Het klinkt als een goocheltruc: je brengt een speciaal apparaat in contact met lucht, laat er zonlicht op vallen, en het produceert gratis brandstof. Toch is dit het basisidee van onderzoeker Mihalis Tsampas (DIFFER - Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research) in samenwerking met Toyota Motor Europe (TME).

Assistant Professor Shuxia Tao from joint TU/e-DIFFER Center for Computational Energy Research has been awarded the prestigious personal NWO START-UP grant. Shuxia Tao received the grant for her research on fundamental understanding of the defect physics and chemistry in perovskite solar cells.
