- New biodegradable polymers tracable without toxic contrast agents
Polyphosphoesters, molecules containing phosphorus as central element, are easily traceable without the need for contrast agents, thanks to developments by researchers at the University of Twente ....
- Ammonia - a trump card for the energy transition process
During his internship as a Chemical Technology student at Danish company Haldor Topsøe, UT PhD researcher Kevin Rouwenhorst realised the many opportunities offered by ammonia. At the moment, it is ...
- Crystal building by tiny magnets
Tiny magnetic balls are a popular toy for building great 3D shapes. Imagine you'd want to use this principle for building crystal structures by self-assembly, is a spheroid still the best building ... - Avoiding bubble trouble in gas evolving electrodes
Bubbles are known to influence energy and mass transfer in gas evolving electrodes. Many electrochemical reactions produce gas that can lead to bubbles forming at the reaction site. Those bubbles c... - Waves of ice inside a droplet
A droplet falling on a surface that is considerably supercooled, will freeze in a way that wasn't ever observed before. Instead of the well-known growth of crystals, a colder surface results in mov...
- Looking inside 3D nanostructures without leaving a trace
Discovering what is inside a three-dimensional (3D) nanostructure, is no longer a matter of cutting slices, thus breaking it up and destroying its functionality. Scientists from the University of T... - Nano brush will 'smell' food freshness
A coating made of nano size hairs, a polymer brush, has many more potential applications than the current ones, according to Sissi de Beer of the University of Twente. Until now, the brushes are ma... - Lab-on-a-chip helps search for human DNA at crime scenes
Thanks to the work carried out by University of Twente PhD candidate Brigitte Bruijns, crime scenes can now be inspected on the spot for the presence of human DNA. In her PhD thesis, she describes ...
- 3D printing of living cells
Using a new technique they call 'in-air microfluidics', University of Twente scientists succeed in printing 3D structures with living cells. This special technique enable the fast and 'on-the-fly' ...
- Coffee physics
For anyone who has marveled at the richly colored layers in a cafe latte, you're not alone. Princeton researchers, likewise intrigued, have now revealed how this tiered structure develops when espr... - Microchip for ultrafast separation and purification of DNA fragments
The new chip is capable of fractionating DNA fragments within just a few minutes, while conventional approaches take hours. The chip does this in high resolution and also purifies the fragments; it...
- Perfect crystals from 'flying' drops
Crystals that don't experience mechanical stress during growth, will be of superior quality. Levitate the liquid metal, is the idea behind the new project 'Perfecting metal crystals', led by the Un...
