FET-OPEN grant for topological states in germanium nanowiresLimited scalability and the high sensitivity of qubits as building blocks for the quantum computer are still in the way of the ‘super computer’s’ big breakthrough. Researchers of the University of Twente, together with colleagues from Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands may have found a promising solution to address these challenges. They have been awarded a 3.1 million euro financial contribution from the EU’s Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) programme.Read more
10 years of TPRC: a breakthrough in thermoplastic compositesThe ThermoPlastic composites Research Center (TPRC) in Enschede celebrates its tenth anniversary on 8 October 2019. At a conference hosted by the University of Twente (UT) the TPRC will reflect on the most important milestones of this consortium, which started life as just a couple of researchers at the UT. It will also look to the future, and the even wider application of thermoplastic composites. Over the last decade the TPRC has been a key player in the broader use of these ultra-light and strong materials in the auto and aviation industries. Multinationals like Boeing, Toray Advanced Composites (previously TenCate Advanced Composites) and GKN Fokker were partners from the start, and are now strongly committed to thermoplastic composites.Read more
