Anti-fouling and cell-interactive anti-fouling plasma polymer coatings for cochlear implants Ghent University
A cochlear implant provides a sense of sound to people with severe-to-profound hearing loss. A
complication of these implants is infection, which often leads to implant explantation. A frequently
investigated strategy to avoid infection is preventing adhesion of bacteria on the implant, which is
mostly done by attaching polymeric chains to the implant surface. This technique however has
limitations: (1) it is a costly, ...

How relativistic particles shine in astrophysical collisionless plasma turbulence KU Leuven
Coronae of black-hole accretion disks in X-ray binaries and at the cores of active galaxies are extremely bright sources of high-energy radiation. The radiation is produced in a hot ionized gas (plasma) that shines through emission from relativistic particles. The energization of particles is mediated by collisionless plasma processes, among which electromagnetic plasma turbulence is a prime contender. A comprehensive understanding of the ...
