Pitch training: MY research what’s in it for YOU?

Our PhD students followed a pitch training entitled “My research, what’s in it for you?”. The workshop was about pitching your research to a lay audience. Experienced trainers from Vrije […]

Will we actually be able to convert CO2 into something useful, just like the plants do?

Akansha Goyal (UL) uses renewable electricity to electrochemically convert CO2 into value added products. Listen how joint efforts work on a carbon neutral energy future.

Imagine you have a huge box of Lego bricks but you only know how to build a cube

You can build so much more from molecules. Nicole van Leeuwen (UvA) explains in her video what you can make out of various molecules.

What if we only produce valuable products from methane?

We work on a completely different process to break down methane into its two elements: hydrogen and carbon. Listen to Morteza Hadian one of our PhD students at TU/e who […]

Paint your object with just one layer

How many layers do you need for good protection? In his research Ellard Hooiveld (WUR) is investigating if we can create a paint with which one layer is enough.

Did you know that the package of a milk carton is more complex than it looks?

Juice, dairy and other food packages are made of multiple layers. The boundary layer, the layer between the liquid and paper package, is made of plastic. Sterre Bakker (TU/e) is […]

The art and science of making and analyzing catalysts

For the sake of the planet materials need to produced with a reduced ecological footprint. Therefore catalysts need to be improved. They must result in chemicals with higher purity, less […]
