On 6 April, a new laboratory was opened at the Reactor Institute Delft (RID): the Battery Lab of Radiation, Science & Technology. This unique lab is an advanced facility for researching and testing current and future battery systems and related electrochemical devices. In the lab, TU Delft scientists Erik Kelder and Marnix Wagemaker and their research teams will work on the next generation of batteries: from cheap, static renewable energy storage to high energy density batteries for electric...

Researchers of the department of Physics of Complex Fluids of the University of Twente’s MESA+ institute have succeeded in increasing the effectivity of condensation through gravity-driven electrowetting. “We have been able to increase condensation by fifty per cent, with room for further increase”, researchers say. Higher efficiency can be in particular interesting for heat transfer and fog harvesting – fetching water from the atmosphere.
