More efficient electrodes for CO2 recycling
CO2 electrolysis is a promising way to store energy whilst recycling carbon dioxide. By applying electricity, CO2 and water react and produce more complex molecules. A study published in Nature Communications lead by Hugo van Montfort at TU Delft has presented a new design of electrodes that improves the efficiency of CO2 electrolysis.

Controlling waves in magnets with superconductors for the first time
Quantum physicists at Delft University of Technology have shown that it’s possible to control and manipulate spin waves on a chip using superconductors for the first time. These tiny waves in magnets may offer an alternative to electronics in the future, interesting for energy-efficient information technology or connecting pieces in a quantum computer, for example.

Kagome: promising quantum material to study superconductivity
Quantum scientists from the Ali Lab at Delft University of Technology and their collaborators from the Max Plank Institute of Microstructure Physics, University of California Santa Barbara, and others, have found proximity–induced superconductivity with strong magnetic field direction dependence and a signal of edge supercurrent inside a Kagome metal. The study, published in Science Advances, shows the promising properties of Kagome metals to investigate unconventional superconductivity and Josephson devices.
