Recently researchers from CWI and TU/e were awarded an OTP technology grant to understand the effect of plasma on plants.
CWI joins ESCAPE project to build European Open Science Cloud
CWI will participate in the ESCAPE project, which is part of the effort to build a European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), which will allow universal access to scientific data through a single …
CWI group leader Ute Ebert on Focus TV
Ute Ebert, group leader of CWI’s Multiscale Dynamics group, appeared on national TV in the NTR science television programme Focus, where she explained which physical phenomena cause the beginning of lightning.
Machine Learning Techniques for Space Weather book published
Recently, the book 'Machine Learning Techniques for Space Weather', edited by CWI researcher Enrico Camporeale and others, was published by Elsevier. The book provides “a thorough and accessible presentation of machine learning …
Technology grant awarded to optimize plasma-assisted combustion
Incomplete combustion in engines and central heating systems can generate toxic exhaust gases. An electric discharge or plasma can preprocess the mixture of air and fuel, which could largely improve the combustion …
Efficient models for high voltage switching
In the search for better environmentally friendly high-voltage switches, it is important to understand electrical breakdowns in various media. PhD student Ashutosh Agnihotri (CWI) developed efficient computational models to simulate these phenomena …
