Nanotechnologists find a way of reducing defects in materials

Researchers from MESA+, the research institute for nanotechnology at the University of Twente, have developed a method to reduce the number of 'defects' in heterogeneous oxide materials. As a result, the electrical conductivity ...

Putting photons in jail

A miniature prison for photons—that is the nanocavity discovered by scientists of the University of Twente. It is an extremely small cavity surrounded by an optical crystal, a structure of pores etched in two perpendicular ...

Researchers develop strategy for targeted drug delivery

Researchers at the University of Twente's MESA+ research institute have developed a new strategy for delivering drugs to specific areas of the body in a targeted way. They have created a carrier that, in principle, is able ...

Perfect photons feed new quantum processor

A quantum processor working with photons developed at the University of Twente becomes an ever stronger 'toolbox' for doing experiments. The latest version not only has more inputs and outputs, it can also be fed by a photon ...

Controlling the emission of light? Size matters

In daily life light is often generated by spontaneous emission, for instance, in lighting, in LCD displays, and in DVD players. In this process, an excited quantum emitter, such as an atom, a molecule, or a quantum dot emits ...

Molecular light sources sensitive to environment

A Dutch-French team of scientists led by FOM (Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter) researcher Dr Danang Birowosuto and University of Twente researcher Dr Allard Mosk has obtained the first experimental evidence ...

Researchers develop flexo-electric nanomaterial

Researchers at the University of Twente's MESA+ research institute, together with researchers from several other knowledge institutions, have developed a 'flexo-electric' nanomaterial. The material has built-in mechanical ...

Breakthrough with new generation robots

The robotics industry is on the precipice of a major breakthrough. Soon, industrial robots will be used at lower cost in small-scale production thanks to the operating system developed by the Dutch-German partnership SInBot. ...

Dutch researcher develops new method of stem cell culture

Deborah Schop of the University of Twente, The Netherlands, and the MIRA research institute has developed a new method of stem cell culture. With the new method Schop can cultivate stem cells in a closed system. This means ...
