💡Can microwaves improve #thermalenergystorage with solar salt? ✅Solar salt is one of the thermal storage media in Carnot batteries. A study explores now the use of microwaves as a heating method for solar salt. ℹdoi.org/10.1016/j.enco…

🍾Do you know how we make innovation possible in beverage industry? Recently we received the visit of our colleagues at @KronesAG. We shared with them the last advances in microwave tech to heating techniques for PET preforms, used in packaging beverages. dimas.itaca.upv.es/krones/

#11F #11FUPV 👩‍🔬María Guillem (@cor_grupo) tells us when she knew she wanted to develop a career in science. 🎓 At the end of my degree, I understood that my work could improve people's lives. The union between technology and medicine has a real impact on those who need it most"

🔝 The @Flexhyon_EU team met last week at France in order to review the main advances done during the last months, and knowing the installations of @GroupeRoullier, industry partner in the project. 👉flexhyon.eu/about/project/ #industrialprocesses #microwaveheating
