Nieuwe elektriciteitsnetten mogelijk door computervoorspellingen

Duurzame energie vraagt om nieuwe elektriciteitsnetten, soms over hele continenten heen, omdat 'groene energie' vaak op verafgelegen plaatsen wordt opgewekt.

CWI researchers simulate how ‘coherent structures’ affect solar wind heating

CWI researchers have further developed our understanding of how solar wind particles get accelerated and heated. In particular, they discovered how ‘coherent ...

Lightning produces afterglow of gamma radiation

Ionizing radiation due to lightning shines for much longer than presumed before: up to 10,000 times longer. This was demonstrated for the first time by ...

Bliksem produceert nagloed van gammastraling

Bliksem wekt röntgen- en gammastraling op. De ioniserende straling van bliksem blijkt veel langer te schijnen dan tot nu toe was aangenomen: er ontstaat een ...
