The researchers at TU Delft are Dr Anna Smith (Associate Professor) and Lukasz Ruszczynski (Postdoc). Seaborg Technologies’ vision is to deliver clean, cost-competitive, and safe energy with their promising Compact Molten Salt Reactor (CMSR) concept.

Physicist Sadiq van Overbeek from PHYSEE Technologies, a spin-off of the Radiation Science & Technology department of TU Delft at TU Delft Reactor Institute & Radiation Science and Technology, found a solution to this bottleneck: a special coating on the greenhouse that converts incoming light towards the part of the spectrum that plants use for photosynthesis. Van Overbeek: “First results show up to 10% more crops with this PAR+ coating.” Read more Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 You are on page 5 Page 6 Page 7 ...
