Project Energy4Oil aims to deliver a low-cost hybrid nanogenerator able to operate in harsh conditions (pressure up to 12000 psi and working temperatures up to 120ºC) for the Oil & Gas industry. This new disruptive market solution, based on nanotechnology and on the most recent developments in the field of energy harvesting, will increase the...
We envision future information society enabled by superconducting logic working in core networks to switch and rout data streams in optical communications network. Until now, the efficient utilisation of superconducting rapid single flux quantum (RSFQ)-logic has been impeded by the difficulty in making the electrical interconnection from the RSFQ-chip to the external world because the...
3D-META proposes an entirely new principle for beam steering of relevance to 3D imaging with lidar microsensors. Our proposed mechanism avoids the fundamental limitations associated with current MEMS tip-tilt micromirrors by instead using MEMS to tune the electromagnetic properties of gap surface plasmon metasurfaces. Using such dynamic metasurfaces we target a factor 10 increase in scanning angle range...
The HyPeR project objective is to demonstrate the feasibility of hyperspectral remote sensing to detect macro plastics (>25mm) and microplastics (1-5mm) in marine conditions and provide specifications for a data acquisition system for monitoring the marine plastics based upon a hyperspectral sensor. The proven knowledge that plastic polymers possess unique optical signatures in the Near InfraRed (NIR)...
