KTH ESRI on material, component and system levels offer research added merits through the whole value chain in an international context.

The LCA and eco-design laboratory develop activities for supporting local authorities, research centres, SMEs and clusters of SMEs in the implementation of sustainable production and consumption strategies.

​

LIMSA is equipped with the facilities for the characterization and quench analysis of superconductor wires, tapes, and small coils, both at liquid nitrogen at 77K and with cryogen free cooling down to 10 K.

The Liquid Metal Competence Center Karlsruhe (LIMCKA) Labs consist of liquid metal facilities for materials, thermal energy storage systems and loop components testing.

Many investigation lines rely on the magnetic and electric properties of the materials being investigated. Most of the characterization carried out requires the use of very precise measurement systems.

The activity of the laboratory is based on the synthesis and characterization of adsorbent materials and phase change materials for thermal energy storage.

MOSA facility is composed by (A) an outdoor test loop, which is a replica of a commercial thermal energy storage system with a two-tank configuration based on molten salts (60%w NaNo3- 40%w KNO3).

As an interdisciplinary research institute of the ETH Domain, Empa, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, conducts cutting-edge materials and technology research.

The micro/nanofluidic facility at ISTO offers high-resolution imaging and metrology techniques for geomimetic experiments, focused on multiphasic systems, defining the rules of positioning/moving for the critical interfaces and chemical fields, and getting deep insights into the behaviour of suspended particles.

Nanoquim Platform offers five independent cleanroom facilities classified as ISO7, which corresponds to a Class 10,000 cleanroom according to FED STD 209E.

Design and development of adsorbents for gas capture, heat storage with advanced materials characterization
