New material to create green hydrogen
Researchers from the University of Twente developed a new composite material that outperforms the individual compounds by one to two orders of magnitude. The composite consists of several earth-abundant elements, that could potentially be used for efficient hydrogen generation without rare and precious metals like platinum. The researchers published their findings in the scientific journal ACS Nano.
Construction Langezijds completed: ITC Faculty on campus in April 2023
On 16 March 2023, the key to the transformed Langezijds building was officially handed over to the University of Twente (UT). Construction combination Dura Vermeer Bouw Hengelo/Trebbe and Croonwolter&dros delivered the building to UT by handing over a large wooden key. With this handover, the ITC faculty can start using this unique building from mid-April.
UT Researchers Develop Ultraefficient white light laser on a chip
A team of researchers from the University of Twente has made a breakthrough in ultraefficient on-chip supercontinuum generation. The findings, published in the journal Advanced Photonics Research, represent a major step forward in the field of integrated photonics and enable applications in portable medical imaging devices, chemical sensing and LiDAR.
