Van flessenwater tot dokter
Volgens promovenda Mirjam Visser zeggen de meeste mensen dat ze duurzaam willen winkelen, maar kopen maar weinig consumenten daadwerkelijk de meest milieuvriendelijke optie als ze boodschappen doen. Voor haar afstudeeronderzoek wilde ze begrijpen waarom sommige consumenten wel groene opties kopen en anderen niet - en hoe ze mensen kan stimuleren om duurzamere keuzes te maken.

Ontwerpers helpen UX-inzichten een langer leven te geven
Zodra een ontwerper niet meer actief betrokken is bij het ontwikkelingsproces, worden UX-inzichten vaak verwaarloosd, waardoor de UX-kwaliteit van het product of de dienst afneemt. Dit fenomeen inspireerde Lilian Henze tot haar promotieonderzoek naar hoe ontwerpers dit kunnen voorkomen en het gebruik van UX-inzichten in het hele ontwikkelingsproces juist kunnen faciliteren.

PV Magazine talks about solar cells integrating power electronics
Researchers in the Netherlands investigated the potential for integrating power electronics in solar cells in the form of diodes, transistors, capacitors, and inductors. They believe that this kind of PV cell may initially find applications in PV-powered Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices and later, as the economy of scale kicks in, in large-scale applications.

Structural optimality vs aesthetics. Wouldnât it be wonderful to achieve both?
Wouldnât it be wonderful if you could achieve structural optimality and visual appeal at the same time? Well, the recent work of IDE researchers Jun Wu, Paul Hekkert, and DfI masterâs students Shannon Loos, Sytze van der Wolk, and Nina de Graaf demonstrates that it is possible. To find out how, be sure to click the link below and read their paper, âTowards intentional aesthetics within topology optimization by applying the principle of unity-in-varietyâ, which was published last week in the journal of Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization.

IDE Design for Sustainability team acquires three NWO projects
The Design for Sustainability team at IDE has acquired three collaborative NWO circular design projects. While each project is unique, they collectively contribute to a knowledge pool that addresses how products can be designed from the start to keep them from entering the waste stream for as long as possible. The projects range from investigating how wind turbine blades can be designed better to improve their re-use and material longevity (LICHEN-Blades), to developing electronics that can be recycled better (Circular Circuits), to addressing harmful substances in products so they can be used over multiple life-cycles (Safe-by-Design Circular Products).
