Wereldprimeur met bouw van hoogvermogen-sorptiekoelers
Voor het nauwkeurig en ongestoord meten bij extreem lage temperatuur heeft big-science project Einstein Telescope (ET) koeling nodig die trillingsvrij is. Het consortium, bestaande uit Demcon kryoz, Universiteit Twente en Cooll, werkt aan een oplossing op basis van sorptiekoeling, een principe dat al wordt toegepast in cryogene microkoelers. Momenteel bouwen zij trillingsvrije koelers op macroformaat, zo…
The AI vision is in place. Now it’s time to build the data and execute
In high-tech systems, the challenge is not just building a smart algorithm. The real challenge is making that algorithm an integrated part of the complete system. That means connecting data, hardware, software, electronics, mechanics, physics and compliance from the very beginning. Not as separate components, but as one engineered solution. Read more
TNO and Demcon explore new joint venture in optics
TNO and Demcon have announced plans for a new joint venture aimed at bringing advanced technology for deformable mirrors to the global market. Read more
How do you inspect a water pipe network from the inside, without interrupting the system?
That was the challenge behind AIR: an autonomous inspection robot developed to navigate through water pipes and collect up-to-date data on leaks, corrosion and the condition of the network. Read more [Picture source: Demcon high-tech systems on linkedin.com]
Unblurring the skies above the ELT
While this might look like a frame from a sci-fi movie, today’s Picture of the Week displays one of the very real lasers built for ESO’s Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), under construction in Chile. This laser, shown here undergoing tests at ESO’s Headquarters in Germany, will be an essential part of the ELT. Read more [Source:…
Compliant mechanism under high current
Exposing a component to a very high heat load is complex. Especially when the component is the size of a straw. The resulting stresses in the material can be so high, that it is reaching the boundaries of the material. To make sure the component actually survives this volumetric heat load Demcon developed a setup that…
A step in the right direction: Modeling AC losses in a tokamak design
Demcon Multiphysics has been featured in the COMSOL, Inc. newsletter. Together with STEP Fusion, led by UK Fusion Energy Ltd., our team contributed to the modelling of AC losses in the high-temperature superconducting magnet system of the Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) program.

Start bouw van eerste gesmolten-zoutreactor testlocatie in Nederland
Op 1 juni is officieel gestart met de bouw van de eerste testinstallatie voor de gesmolten-zoutreactor (MSR) van Thorizon in Brabant. Dit vormt een belangrijke mijlpaal in de ontwikkeling van innovatieve nucleaire technologie, die algemeen wordt gezien als een veelbelovende stap op weg naar stabiele, betrouwbare en schone energie in Europa. Tijdens het kick-offevenement op de High Tech Campus Eindhoven…
How can investments in security strengthen the Netherlands’ long-term earning power?
That is the central question in the National Plan Autonomous & Intelligent Systems we handed over to Dutch Minister van Defensie – Dilan Yeşilgöz-Zegerius during the Drone Summit in Riga. The Netherlands is in a strong starting position. With leading companies and research institutions and a solid foundation in AI, semiconductors, smart materials, and communications technology,…
It is very special to build something from the ground up that will soon be used in the OR
After open-heart surgery, every minute counts. The risk of complications is high, and the patient needs intensive monitoring. In close collaboration with Haermonics, Demcon is therefore developing the Pure system: a medical device that actively flushes the area around the heart and removes exudate to support a more stable recovery. This flushing technology helps prevent patients from dying after otherwise…
