‘Harvesting’ microparticles from a liquid jetMicrospheres, microlenses, microfibers: they can now all be produced by irradiating a fluid jet with ultraviolet light. The result is that locally, a polymer of the desired shape is formed. This process called ‘in-air photopolymerization’ enables manufacturing of a wide range of bio-inspired microparticles. The technique is faster than existing techniques and delivers particles of very constant quality. Researchers of the University of Twente present their work in Advanced Materials of 4 December.Read more
Transport sector: opt for hydrogen-powered or electric drivingIf we want to make the transport sector more sustainable, it will have to place a firm focus on electric or hydrogen-powered driving. This is the emphatic recommendation of PhD candidate Bunyod Holmatov of the University of Twente. The usual focus of the sector is on biofuels, as they would reduce the greenhouse gas emissions. But they come at a hefty price for land and water, while the biofuels can replace only a small part of the energy consumed in the transport sector. On 26 November, Holmatov obtained his doctoral degree with this topic.Read more
