Ana Luisa Maria will present a poster and short presentation about Ultrasound-assisted oxidative cleavage on the 3rd Ultrasonics conference. This conference is organised from 11th-14th June 2018 in Caparica (Portugal). Also Jeroen Jordens will give an oral presentation on Ultrasound enhanced micromixing: the effect of frequency and pulsed ultrasound at the same conference.  

Yesterday, the COSMIC researchers started their third network wide event with a company visit to Weber in Karlsbad. They where introduced in real life applications of ultrasound and transducer design. Also they cut and welded their own key chain with an ultrasonic knife and ultrasonic welding device. After a not so smooth train trip they arrived in Göttingen for the ...

Europe on the wave to innovation In the last decades, Europe has lost its top position in the Chemical industrial market to China. One of the most important factors in this process is the lag in innovation. The COSMIC project (European Training Network for Continuous Sonication and Microwave Reactors) tackles this hurdle by training 15 young potential researchers in new ...
