UT coordinates €20.3 million research into green nitrogen chemistryThe University of Twente coordinates HyNITROGEN, WP5 of the GroenvermogenNL programme on Green Nitrogen Chemistry. This new research consortium brings together more than 40 companies, universities and research institutes. Together, they have received €20.3 million in subsidy to develop green production routes for ammonia and other nitrogen-based chemicals. The funding comes from NWO as part of the National Growth Fund programme GroenvermogenNL. These funds were unlocked thanks to the strong support from the industrial partners, who have committed an additional €6 million in co-funding for this initiative.Read more
Nobel Prize-winning nanocrystals reveal unexpected propertyThe nanocrystals that won the 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry have revealed an unexpected property. Researchers at the University of Twente discovered that the molecular coating on quantum dot nanocrystals generates internal electric fields. Depending on which coating is used, these fields slow light output by a factor of eight. The findings, published in the Journal of Physical Chemistry C, have potential applications in silicon photonics and single-molecule electric-field sensing.Read more
