“From steam engine to the evaporating black hole”
On Friday, September 27, the World of Industry, Technology & Science will focus on fascinating science. Three top scientists talk passionately about fundamental research and its practical implications. About their fascination with science and the world. One of these scientists is professor of mathematical physics, Klaas Landsman.
“Thermodynamics has its origins around the year 1800. The steam engine had just been invented in England and this was the starting signal of the industrial revolution. The physicists of that time were fascinated by the problem of how to make such a machine more efficient.”
Join tomorrows technology with Open Industry 4.0 Alliance
The World of Industry, Technology and Science (WoTS) is an exceptional opportunity to meet the entire playing field where technology, industry and science overlap. Once every two years the WoTS is the center of technological advancement and innovation.
In support of the Open Industry 4.0 Alliance (OI4) and to assist them in reaching their goals, WoTS 2024 gives OI4 the opportunity to present themselves to the world. OI4 takes this opportunity with both hands and is responsible for an entire seminar. This seminar is an in-depth approach to a number of innovative topics. Dive into digital twins, hackathon insights, instrumentation management, standardization and digitalizing supply chains. OI4’s approach guarantees technical knowhow and focus on cooperation.
Vitens’ mobile drinking water laboratory
When you turn on the tap in the Netherlands, you can rest assured that the drinking water is tasty and safe. But how do we know if the water is of good quality? Adrie Atsma is research leader in microbiology and diagnostics at the Vitens Water Expertise Center. During the WoTS he explains how Vitens measures the quality of our drinking water with a mobile drinking water laboratory. “It is nothing more than a hand truck,” says Adrie when describing what the mobile drinking water laboratory (MoDriLab) looks like. “The system is flexible, so you can easily connect another sensor. Furthermore, it is very user-friendly, you need power and reads the data directly.”
