Important step in understanding of light scattering

A team of researchers from the University of Twente and from Philips in the Netherlands has succeeded in taking an important step in understanding how light is scattered, absorbed and re-emitted in white light emitting diodes ...

Super-sharp images through thin optical fibres

Super-sharp images from within the human body made through tiny endoscopes have come a step closer to reality thanks to joint research by scientists from the University of Twente's MESA+ research institute, the Max Planck ...

Primary school pupils lend researchers a helping hand

One hundred primary school pupils will be coming to University of Twente on Monday 11 and Tuesday 12 January to test the creative possibilities of some of our new technologies. During this 'tech test' at the DesignLab, the ...

Researchers discover new fundamental quantum mechanical property

Nanotechnologists at the University of Twente research institute MESA+ have discovered a new fundamental property of electrical currents in very small metal circuits. They show how electrons can spread out over the circuit ...

Unique high-resolution map on bat diversity in Africa

Researchers of the ITC Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation of the University of Twente have developed a unique map of all 250 African bat species on a high-resolution scale (1 km2). There are very few ...

Maximizing benefits by cross-linking networks

Since 1 January 2015 municipalities in the Netherlands have been given new tasks in the fields of care, social participation and youth services. In practice, many municipalities are too small to carry out these tasks effectively ...

Plants show stress in thermal spectrum

Plants experience stress as a result of growing under non-optimal conditions. For example, too little water or low temperatures lead to clear responses such as wilting or defoliation. But exposure to milder forms of stress ...

New measurement method for replacement of gas and water network

Twente PhD researcher Emiel Drenth has developed a method to determine the remaining service life of gas and water pipes. His method, which is known as micro hardness indentation, can be used on pipes made of rigid PVC (uPVC). ...
