Where science meets industry: Nanotechnology Crossing Borders is an annual symposia organized by UHasselt, TNO, Brightlands Materials Center, Zuyd University of Applied Sciences and IUMAT-colleagues An Hardy and Paulius Podebinskas.
Nanotechnology Crossing Borders @ UHasselt
The 9th edition of Nanotechnology Crossing Borders focused on how materials science can address today's most pressing challenges. From forest fires to severe heatwaves: recent devastating events are reminders that an immediate reduction in CO2 emissions is urgently needed.
Our IUMAT colleagues highlighted several of these key solutions throughout the morning: Jeroen Prooth presented on the synthesis of (nano)diamonds, Anna Ermakova explored the possibilities of diamond-based quantum sensors and Dries Vandamme shared insights on carbon applications in batteries.
We ended an inspiring day on a high note by announcing the three winning contributions of our student poster session. Congratulations to all students for their outstanding work and a special mention to Juan Guerrero Paez (UHasselt), Yuenfei Xue and Sterre Dijkstra for winning first, second and third prize.
Thank you to all partners, speakers and everyone who joined us!
