START-UP grant for David MarpaungPhotonics researcher David Marpaung of the University of Twente (MESA+ Institute) will receive a START-UP grant of the Netherlands Organisation for Scientifc Research (NWO). This enables him to do research on the interaction of light and sound waves, for low noise photonics applications.Read more
Clever timing for computers producing less heatComputer systems produce a lot of heat: data centers are full of buzzing cooling fans and even our smartphone can heat up quite a lot when it is working hard. Reducing the energy consumption is one of the main challenges in information technology. But there is a theoretical lower limit to this, already stated by Rolf Landauer in the 60’s of the past century. This is a temperature-dependent lower limit. Jan Klaers of University of Twente's MESA+ Institute now shows that by cleverly timing the interaction of heat and logical operations, it is possible to go even below this limit. This new theory, presented in Physical Review Letters, may lead to energy efficient electronics.Read more
