Silicon nanocrystals are promising materials for optical, electronic, medical and renewable energy applications. However, different synthesis techniques produce very different light emission characteristics, usually with low efficiencies. In Nature Light, Ilker Dogan and colleagues demonstrate a technique to turn any silicon nanocrystal into a white light emitter.

18 participants from 6 international fusion institutes are meeting at DIFFER for a ‘RAPTOR week’ to discuss ongoing work around the RAPTOR code. RAPTOR is a control-oriented simulation code for tokamak fusion plasmas that is used for various applications.

Jaime Gómez Rivas, group leader at DIFFER and professor at the Applied Physics faculty of Eindhoven University of Technology, has won one of the 34 prestigious Vici grants of NWO, the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research.

Jaime Gómez Rivas, groepsleider bij energieinstituut DIFFER en hoogleraar bij de faculteit Technische Natuurkunde van de Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, heeft een van de 34 felbegeerde Vici-beurzen van ontvangen van NWO, de Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek.

DIFFER's social media channels have new names (and addresses) as a consequence of the institute's transition to the NWO organisation. On January 1st 2017, our parent organisation FOM was incorporated into NWO, the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research. The DIFFER institute is directly part of NWO now. The transition is part of a governance and organisation change at NWO.
