Item on chip manufacturing on national television
- Thursday, 2 September 2021
On the 1st of September, Sten Vollebregt explained in the program NTR Atlas on national television how chips are made and why it is difficult to produce many of them on short notice to resolve the current chip shortage. The item was filmed inside the Else Kooi Laboratory.
The program can be viewed back here (in Dutch): link to NPO start.

Online conference Neural Interfaces and Artificial Senses (NIAS)
- Wednesday, 1 September 2021
Since 1958 when the first pacemaker was implanted in humans, bioelectronics devices have been increasingly used to interface with different types of tissue, monitor and interact with biological activity. During our continuous endeavors to better study sophisticated neuronal systems we have become more capable of diagnosing and treating various disorders. We are currently emerging in an era where bioelectronic devices are becoming smaller, less invasive and safer, which in turn is being paralleled with new therapies for a vast range of neurological and auto-immune diseases. This opens exciting possibilities for the future, from cutting-edge technology for brain-machine-interfaces with unprecedented functionality, artificial organs and augmented senses that can change the way we perceive the world, to a more human way of interactions with robots.
Topics to be covered by the conference: • Bioelectronic devices • Electroceuticals/Bioelectronic medicine • Neuronal interfaces and implantable electronics • Materials at the interface with biology • Neuronal mechanisms and clinical applications • Artificial visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory and tactile sensory systems.

The Electronic Instrumentation (EI) lab receives three awards at PRORISC and SAFE 2021
Last July 8-9 PRORISC and SAFE made a successful re-start after a one-year hiatus. This time the event was held online and, as we are proud to report, PhD candidates of the Electronic Instrumentation Lab received three awards. Roger Zamparette and Thije Rooijers won Best Poster Awards in the sessions on Sensing & Low Power and ADC & Analog, respectively, while Efraim Eland won the Best Presentation Award in the ADC & Analog session.
