Reactor Institute Delft
Themes: Life Science & Health, Materials
Why?
The nuclear research reactor is a source of positrons and neutrons for an array of world-class research instruments. These are able to look deep inside the structure of matter, enabling investigation of thin films, soft condensed matter, magnetism, chemical speciation and more.
How?
The reactor is one of a kind in the Netherlands, enabling industry and academia to look inside materials from a very small, atomic scale up to a macroscopic scale of centimetres, without damaging the material. Typical areas of research are health, sustainable energy and materials.
