1. Holger Großhans and his team at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) have received an ERC Proof of Concept Grant to develop measures against dust explosions. 2. The grant, worth 150,000 euros, will primarily support the technology transfer of the MefiX device, which measures electrostatic charges in powder flows to prevent explosions. 3. This grant aims to commercialize the technology, turning scientific research into practical, user-friendly solutions that prevent explosions, protect lives, and avoid costly damages.
