Breaking down household waste and reforming it into productsWe have been separating our waste for many years, but a large part of the waste stream cannot be recycled. Scientists at the University of Twente are researching, in collaboration with companies, how you can make new products from so-called complex and ‘wet’ waste streams. This involves efficiently isolating the chemical components that are then used in new materials. This spring sees the start of the project ReBBloCS – Renewable Building Blocks from Complex and wet waSte – with a grant of 3.8 million euros from the Netherlands Enterprise Agency.Read more
Rapid production of antibubbles with a jetUT researchers succeeded in the rapid fabrication of microscopic ‘antibubbles’. Previous methods to produce these liquid droplets surrounded by an air layer were either lack of controllability or prone to clogging and were much slower. The team of researchers recently published their findings in the scientific journal Advanced Materials.Read more
