Experimental investigation on low-temperature electrical resistivity of silver thin films: The effects of fabrication, design, purity and storage

Quantum computing has gained a lot of interest from researchers and industry due to its great potential to solve some complex problems in various fields. One of the biggest challenges is developing hardware suitable for the extremely low operation temperatures required by quantum computers. Specifically, the wiring material of a quantum computer...

Simulating the flexibility potential of demand response with heat pumps in the Netherlands

The growth of electricity generated by renewables increases the intermittency of the Dutch electricity production. To deal with this, the Dutch power system requires a higher amount of flexibility in the future. Demand response with heat pumps is one of the options with a high potential to provide flexibility, because it offers the potential to...

The Comfort Unit: Developed as part of a Climate Adaptive Skin

In what way would a façade be able to create a comfortable indoor office environment using only the indoor and outdoor environment as its energy sources? The low (average) outdoor temperatures in The Netherlands suggest that the outdoor climate is cold enough to cool the indoor climate through ventilation with fresh outdoor air without resorting...
