Magnum-PSI superconducting magnet reaches maximum field

Yesterday the Magnum-PSI team tested their new superconducting magnet at its maximum field of 2.5 tesla for the first time - another milestone reached in bringing this amazing facility back online. Congratulations to the team!

In September and October 2016, DIFFER organized a three day ‘Plasma Academy’ for employees of the Dutch high-tech company ASML. The Academy revolved around fundamental plasma physics, a key area of expertise in the ASML scanners that work with Extreme Ultra Violet (EUV) lithography. “Working on EUV lithography means working on exciting scientific and engineering challenges. To tackle those challenges, we rely on a network of over 700 partners across the world”, said Hans Franken, Principal Architect at ASML. “Collaborating closely with fundamental research institutes like DIFFER means everything.”

Bezoekersonderzoek Weekend van de Wetenschap 2016

Onze open dag nog vers in het geheugen? Je helpt ons als je deze enquete van het Weekend van de Wetenschap invult! Differ is een van de 200 deelnemers. Van deze enquete leren we hoe we het volgend jaar nóg beter kunnen doen. En sowieso zijn tips daarover altijd welkom :)

The MOOC 'Plasma Physics' at your own pace

Helemaal verliefd op plasma's na onze open dag? Geen zorgen, dat gebeurt. Voed je nieuwe verslaving met deze massive open online course over plasmafysica van onze Zwitserse collega's EPFL Plasma. Van sterren en fusie-energie tot industriele toepassingen, deze cursus start je wanneer jij dat wil: http://actu.epfl.ch/news/the-mooc-plasma-physics-at-your-own-pace

Tijdens onze open dag op 2 oktober hebben we twee sessies met hoog bezoek! De Belgische wetenschapscabaratier Lieven Scheire leidt onze Q&A over energie met experts Richard van de Sanden en Marco de Baar. En Techniekpact-ambassadeur Ans Hekkenberg (Volkskrant - De Maakbare Wereld) houdt drie workshops BrushBotBouwen voor techniekmeiden. Be there!

taking photos during installing... when an artwork is finished, yet its not in context. i find it interesting, to see them in this 'place', a sort of waiting room. waiting for their fulfilment in the space. #tanjasmeets #art #installation
