About the research
Milk is a source of many delicacies, such as cheese and ice cream. Unfortunately, milk also has a smell to it... Cows produce ammonia and methane through their breath and manure. These gases are harmful to nature and the climate and are mainly released when cows are stabled. In his Ph.D., Kobe Coorevits (ILVO - KU Leuven) is looking for a way to monitor the emission of these gases in dairy cowsheds in an accurate and affordable way. This will help farmers when investing in technology to reduce their emissions and it will also help policymakers make evidence-based and data-driven decisions, such as granting permits.

Fighting the southern green stink bug
We are facing a little green problem: the southern green stink bug, an insect from Ethiopia, is on the rise in our country. And that's bad news for our vegetable growers. Fortunately, Margot Geerinck is working on a solution. The protagonists: ichneumon wasps & fungi!

Let's cover our cars with solar panels
Do you own an electric car? Then you know how difficult it can be to find available charging spots. But what if we cover electric cars with solar panels so that they can charge themselves with the power of the sun? Well, that's not easy because conventional solar panels used on roofs can't be integrated into our cars. Electrical engineer Bin Luo is looking at new solar panels suitable for our cars.

More solar power for a more sustainable future
Producing renewable, low-cost energy in a robust way remains a challenge. Jose Maria Cuevas (Imec - KU Leuven - Energyville) is looking at a new sort of solar cell that might help do the trick: the *take a breath* 3 Terminal Tandem Bifacial Solar Cell 😅 Say what ⁉️ Jose breaks it down and makes it crystal clear for you in this video. 👏
