In Memoriam Willem Hundsdorfer

With sadness, we let you know that our colleague Prof. Willem Hundsdorfer passed away on Friday 10 November, at the age of 63. Since 1984 Willem had been ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

New electricity grids possible with computer simulations

Renewable energy requires new electricity grids, sometimes over entire continents, because 'green energy' is often generated in remote locations.
