Under Framework Contract no. ENV.A.2/FRA/2015/0008, DG Environment of the European Commission contracted a consortium led by Oeko-Institut for “Assessing an exemption request for the use of cadmium in luminescent material for on-chip application on LED semiconductor chips”. This request was subm...
The aim of this study, carried out within the frame of the MACPoll project, is to assess if the NO2-B4 AlphaSense sensor meets the data quality objective (DQO) set in the European Air Quality Directive for NO2 indicative measurements. The report presents the evaluation of the performances and de...
The traditional linear economy approach is still today mostly representing the usual business in the Li-ion battery value chain. Mining and chemical industries provide most of the myriad of raw and processed materials used in the production of the various Li-ion cell components including the ano...
This study presents a roadmap of the emerging technologies impacting the global electronic value chain: 1. Including Micro-Nano Electronics (MNE) innovations but also emerging computing technologies in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and Smart Systems end-user markets; 2. Including the key interact...
Industrial electronics are the second largest end user segment in Europe, and a segment where Europe’s position is particularly strong. European production is 20% of the world market, well over the average for all end user segments (14%), and Europe ranks second in the world for the manufacture ...
Quantum technology is an emerging field related to physics and engineering, which enables quantum physics to achieve performances which otherwise would be impossible. The different functions of quantum technologies are derived from science that cannot be explained by classical physics, such as N...
An analogue charge amplifier and digital pulse discriminator circuit has been designed and implemented at the JRC-GII.7 applicable in the JRC Drum monitor and a novel Slab Counter device, manufactured in 2015. This technical note provides the details suitable for proper operation and an optimal ...
A novel amplifier circuit, named KM-200, suitable for 3He gas proportional counters for neutron detection was developed at LANL. The new circuit is proposed as a potential substitute for the standard Amptek A111 amplifier currently used in many neutron well-counters by Euratom and IAEA. It is ex...
