Why is it so difficult to recycle electronic devices?
Electronic products are often treated as disposable items. This needs to become much more circular. And that is precisely what John Schermer and Fatin Battal from Radboud University are working on within the Circular Circuits project.
Grant for research on Antarctic marine animals
Aquatic ecologist Wilco Verberk of Radboud University has received a grant of nearly 1 million euros from NWO to conduct research in Antarctica. From the money, he will investigate the influence of global warming on marine animals in Antarctica.

Wilhelm Huck and Caroline Slomp have both received a Summit Grant from the NWO with their research consortia.
'Not every exotic species needs to be controlled'
Certain invasive exotic species, such as the red swamp crayfish, are harmful to our environment because they transmit crayfish plague to native species. But there are also non-native fish and crayfish that are not harmful.
The first scientific images from the Euclid telescope surpass all expectations
ESA has published five images taken with the Euclid space telescope. According to astronomers working with the data, these images surpass all expectations and demonstrate that Euclid is capable of unraveling the secrets of the universe.
