A new device dat produces clean water and fuel at the same time, developed by researchers at the University of Cambridge, could be useful in resource-limited or off-grid environments. It works with any open water source and does not require…
With the EU Chips Act, Europe has expressed a ton of deep tech ambitions, with a special focus on semicon and photonics. In pursuit of strategic autonomy and “semiconductor dominance”, the EU aims to increase its global market share in…
A breakthrough discovery by international researchers reveals that genetically engineered yeast cells can produce alstonine, a natural plant product, potentially revolutionising schizophrenia treatment. Michael Krogh Jensen, a senior researcher at Denmark Technical University (DTU) and co-founder of Biomia, explains that…
Contemporary wearable technologies allow for the continuous tracking of vital signs. Yet, in pursuits like cycling, motor racing, or military operations, a helmet equipped with integrated sensors offers optimal convenience. In pursuit of this objective, scientists at Imperial College London…
Chips, transistors, and solar panels are all made with silicon. The demand, and thus the production, of this mineral spiked over the past few decades, driven by the increase in the production of solar cells and computing power. Yet, silicon…
Home batteries primarily play a role in energy balancing rather than net congestion. However, there is currently no profitable business case for energy balancing, a new report by CE Delft concludes. The researchers propose various measures to improve profitability. The…
He knows that this year’s Precisiebeurs program is once again bulging with great keynotes, presentations and lectures, but for Roland Kuijvenhoven it ultimately comes down to networking. “Everybody is approachable; you can reach out to people you haven’t seen for…
In our Sunday newsletter, we, as editors, reflect on the past seven days. We do this on the initiative of our cartoonist Albert Jan Rasker. He chooses a subject, draws a picture, and we take it from there. As the Dutch…
ASML’S booth at the China International Import Expo was thronged by visitors, including government agency delegates dressed in black, South China Morning Post reported earlier this week. The Dutch chip equipment maker displayed a timeline of their China business development…
With the Chips Act, the EU aims to create incentives to increase the semiconductor production capacity, provide funds to stimulate technology leadership and take measures to make the chip supply chains more robust. The photonic chips industry is well aligned…
