   Abstract : With the advent of increasingly advanced spectroscopic instruments after the turn of the century, it has become accessible to unravel the structure of instantly ‘vanishing’ nuclei, with lifetimes as short as 1 μs, and responsible for pile-up events in analog electronics. Experimental data has been recorded by the Nuclear Structure Group at Lund University for 48Ca/50Ti + nat. READ MORE

3. 2. Exploring potential E-fuel production pathways for maritime and aviation sectors in France : a techno-economic and environmental assessment

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Mathieu Minaud; [2024]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The aviation and maritime industries pose significant challenges for decarbonization, having increased activity in the past decade. One promising solution to limit emissions in these sectors is Electrofuels (E-fuel), derived from water electrolysis hydrogen and captured CO2 or nitrogen. READ MORE

4. 3. Powering Sustainable Development with SMRs - A qualitative study examining the potential effects of Small Modular Reactor deployment in Southern Sweden
