Our #nanofluidic tech opens new ways to power wearables, IoT & low-power devices sustainably.
Huge thanks to all partners, students, advisors & supporters who shaped TRANSLATE. We hope this sparks the next wave of innovation.
Our website (translate-energy.eu) remains active.
As #TRANSLATE finishes, we look back on 4+ years of progress in turning #WasteHeat into #CleanEnergy, and forward to what’s next.
Our final newsletter highlights milestones, new collaborations, sustainable lab practices & PhD spotlights.

70% of the energy we produce is lost as heat.
#TRANSLATE’s new nanofluidic device captures that energy - turning waste into power.
Watch our video to see the collaboration in action.
