The core competence of the chair “Energy, Materials and Systems” (EMS) within the Faculty of Applied Sciences (TNW) is on Applied Superconductivity and on Cryogenic Science and Technology.
Traditionally, research within EMS has mainly been focused on ‘Big Science’ (e.g. magnets for particle accelerators or for nuclear fusion reactors; cooling of sensors for satellites;…) or on medical applications (e.g. MRI magnets; sensors of biomagnetism;…), but since 2010 R&D projects have also spun-out into sustainability-related fields. These include electricity generation; transport; energy storage & materials recycling.
