FOM-DIFFER (NWO) DIFFER (NWO) is the Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research,

which conducts leading fundamental research in the fields of fusion and solar

fuels in close collaboration with academia and industry. To successfully trans-

fer fundamental insights to our society, DIFFER is actively building an energy

science society by creating multidisciplinary networks. DIFFER can be found

on the campus of Eindhoven University of Technology in its new sustainable

BREEAM Excellent laboratory.

Our research into solar fuels addresses the global challenge of energy stor-

age and transport by converting intermittent sustainable energy into fuels.

For example, DIFFER investigates the splitting of water into hydrogen or the

activation of carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide, and the processing of

these products into a hydrocarbon fuel. The research involves the synthesis

and design of novel (nano)materials and processes to obtain scalable, effi-

cient and cost-effective systems.

Fusion is the process powering the sun and stars and has great potential as a concentrated, safe and clean source of energy on earth. Our fusion research addresses high priority topics in the European Fusion Roadmap: the explora-tion of plasma surface interactions under extreme conditions, the controlled burning of plasma in the ITER fusion reactor and the study and optimization of maintenance of reactor components through remote handling. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

FOM Institute NIKHEF (NWO) Innovation is indispensable in experimental particle and astroparticle phys-

ics. The sheer size and complexity of the experiments surpasses the imagina-

tion and relies on technologies and performances that extend beyond availa-

ble industry standards. Innovative technology solutions developed for parti-

cle physics research often transmute into widely used industry applications.

The CERN laboratory is an excellent example where such developments take

place. For example, silicon detector technology developed for LHC experi-

ments has found its way to the world’s leading industrial supplier of analytic

instruments for X-ray diffraction and fluorescence. Grid computing, devel-

oped at CERN, provides an off-the-shelf service, not to mention the fact that

the World Wide Web itself was born at CERN.

Collaboration is second nature to Nikhef (NWO). Large experiments were

enabled thanks to the common efforts of international institutes like Nikhef.

Close collaboration with industry partners is crucial in the development of

the state-of-the-art equipment.

Nikhef helps solve healthcare challenges, for example, by developing sensors for imaging in the human body for diagnostics and therapy. Nikhef also leads industry advancements through, for example, the continuous and extreme accurate monitoring of large structures, such as long traffic tunnels, in order to detect minute movements. Another practical example is the involvement of Nikhef in the damping of vibrations through an active anti-spring mecha-nism, as can be used to stabilize sensitive equipment. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
