Seminars at DIFFER cover a wide range of topics and are held on Thursdays at 11.15 AM in the seminar room of the institute (unless otherwise stated). Seminars are open to everybody. If you are interested in visiting a DIFFER seminar or want to subscribe to our mailing list, please follow the instructions for external visitors.

(Please note the deviating time) Pulsed discharges play a key role not only in various lightning phenomena, but also in energy efficient plasma processing, plasma horticulture, plasma medicine and in high voltage technology where the replacement of the extreme green house gas SF6 is an urgent issue.

(Note: this seminar is organized together with the TU/e, and will be in the Flux building) The stable generation of high temperature Hydrogen plasmas (ion and electron temperature in the range 10-20 keV) is the basis for the use of nuclear fusion to generate heat and thereby electric power.

The LHC experiments at CERN record tens of petabytes of data each year -- but
the actual data produced by the detectors is several orders of magnitude larger.
This initial data stream is analyzed in real-time by dedicated systems, and only
the most interesting bits of information are recorded. Next, the recorded data

Most energy in the built environment is used in the form of heat. This heat is produced for 75% from natural gas. Large scale electrification of the heat supply (with heat pumps) will need significant investments in the electricity networks.
