But there is another group of accelerators where electrons don´t collide, instead they are kept circulating through a ring-shaped vacuum tube, called a storage ring. While they are racing around this ring they produce intense radiation. ]]> Wed, 08 May 2013 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2013-05-08:/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/star/index_en.cfm?p=ss-sesame&calledby=infocentre&item=Infocentre&artid=29927 http://ec.europa.eu/research/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/headlines/news/article_13_04_03_en.html&item=Infocentre&artid=29553 Accounting for some 40% of all energy consumption, the building sector is one of Europe's most energy consuming. And as the vast majority of this power comes from fossil fuels, increasing energy efficiency, reducing CO2 emissions and using Renewable Energy Sources (RES) has in recent years become priority. ]]> Wed, 03 Apr 2013 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2013-04-03:/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/headlines/news/article_13_04_03_en.html&item=Infocentre&artid=29553 http://ec.europa.eu/research/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/star/index_en.cfm?p=ss-citynet&calledby=infocentre&item=Infocentre&artid=28761 Today, more than half of the world's population lives in cities, a figure that will continue to rise even as energy prices elevate and pressures on energy supplies grow. With a mix of real-life case studies and laboratory modelling, the European Union (EU)-supported research project, CityNet, worked to make cities in the future as energy efficient as possible with the help of young researchers like Dilay Kesten. ]]> Wed, 19 Dec 2012 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2012-12-19:/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/star/index_en.cfm?p=ss-citynet&calledby=infocentre&item=Infocentre&artid=28761 http://ec.europa.eu/research/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/star/index_en.cfm?p=ss-wheylayer&calledby=infocentre&item=All&artid=28397&caller=SuccessStories Green plastic, and safety on land, in the skies and at sea are the subjects of some of our latest Success Stories! • WHEYLAYER – New green plastic made from milk whey • ShipArrestor – New rescue tool to save ships in distress • SAFECAST – Innovative inspection system to make buildings safer • QualiTi – New airplane inspection system to make skies safer]]> Wed, 28 Nov 2012 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2012-11-28:/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/star/index_en.cfm?p=ss-wheylayer&calledby=infocentre&item=All&artid=28397&caller=SuccessStories
