How Decaying Shells Help Preserve the Alkalinity of the Seas
Calcium carbonates produced by sea creatures help to maintain the ocean’s alkalinity — and also serve as a natural sink for anthropogenic carbon dioxide. To better understand essential but obscure deep-sea galvanization processes, Olivier Sulpis of Utrecht University developed an innovative 3D reactive-transport model that shows how seashells help preserve calcite grains in seafloor sediments.
Last week the course Application of Materials in High Tech Industry started for the second time. It was kicked off by a presentation of Pieter Kappelhof, director Technology of the Hittech Group. This master course at the Delft University of Technology was the result of an initiative of the High Tech Industry, initiated by Hittech in 2020.
The robot will use sensors, cameras and other technology to create images that must be converted into usable data. Dorin: “We have to train the AI system in such a way that it classifies the data from the sensors and the images extremely accurately.” That is important to identify existing species, but also to find species that we don’t…Application of Materials in the High Tech Industry

A short explanation of cogging in iron core direct drive motors
Cogging force is a phenomenon caused by the attraction of the iron lamination stack of the motor to the permanent magnets. The direction of this force is either the same or opposite to the moving direction. By moving the motor over the magnet track the cogging effect can be noticed, the motor has a…

With the EJ series of EtherCAT plug-in modules, Beckhoff introduced a completely new design in its broad I/O portfolio in 2014 that offers numerous advantages, particularly for series machine manufacturing. Watch the video
1U hoge modulaire voeding levert tot 800 W, heeft BF-geschikte isolatie en maakt extreem weinig geluid
TDK Corporation introduceert de TDK-Lambda 1U hoge MU4 serie AC-DC modulaire voedingen. De zeer lage geluidsproductie van het product is een pré in test- en medische toepassingen waar verstoringen door geluid tot een minimum moeten worden beperkt. De modulaire MU4 heeft tot vijf geïsoleerde en geregelde uitgangen en kan tot 800 W vermogen leveren. Alle modellen…
Shape Optimization in Electromagnetics: Part 1
Shape optimization can be used to improve designs in many different physics areas. In this blog post, we will focus on shape optimization in wave optics. We will go over the shape optimization features in the COMSOL Multiphysics® software and show what you can expect to achieve when these features are used for wave optics applications.

Sioux into space
A piece of Sioux’s technology was launched into space with the SubOrbital Express 3 for scientific purposes. Sioux Technologies’ biological research lab is part of a total of 12 experiments which went into space with the rocket. Edwin Langerak, project manager at Sioux, tells more about the road to the launch and Sioux’s expertise…
Wat is een Mass Flow Controller?
Als je gas, damp of vloeistof aan een chemisch proces wilt toevoeren, dan zijn mass flow controllers hiervoor geschikt. Mass flow controllers (ook wel MFC genoemd) worden gebruikt in processen die te maken hebben met:
* dosering van gas in bioreactoren voor bacteriegroei
* aeratie van industrieel roomijs of slagroom
* toevoeging…
