What if GPS fails? In a world increasingly dependent on satellite navigation, disruptions like jamming and spoofing are no longer hypothetical. That’s exactly where TNO scientist Mia Jukić is making a difference. Her work on magnetic navigation offers a robust, passive alternative, using the Earth’s magnetic field to determine position, even in the most challenging environments. ‘Imagine an aircraft or drone operating in an environment where GPS is unreliable or disrupted. That is no longer a hypothetical scenario. With alternative, passive navigation methods, we can still determine where you are.’ Read her full story here > https://tno.to/46ceb6...Show more

It is one of TNO’s most ambitious projects: building Europe’s first large-scale Photonic Chip Pilot Line. This will produce over 10 million photonic chips annually, bridging the gap between proven science and market reality. Engineering Director Boudewijn Docter is helping create this factory at scale. ‘We are not just conducting R&D; we are taking risks to build production capability and capacity for the demand in the near future. If we do not act now, Europe will lose its technological advantage in this critical field.’ Are you ready to help build Europe’s technological independence? We’re looking for talented engineers to join us. This is a unique opportunity to help shape a cutting-edge facility that will reinforce the integrated photonics cluster at High Tech Campus Eindhoven and boost the entire PhotonDelta ecosystem, including SMART Photonics. Check out our vacancies and join the revolution! https://tno.to/wb4...Show more

How can we determine the origin of chemical weapons using forensic methods? Mirjam de Bruin-Hoegée developed new methods during her PhD to trace chemical weapons, even months after their use. We are proud she earned the title of Young Excellent Researcher 2025. TNO is a home for talent. That’s why we put our exceptionally talented colleagues in the spotlight. Each year, we organise the Young Excellent Researcher election (YER) to recognise the outstanding achievements of our talented researchers up to the age of 35. Mirjam: 'I was genuinely surprised and deeply grateful to receive this award. It shows that the work I do is seen and appreciated, which makes this a wonderful recognition of my efforts. What drives me is the desire to make the world a little better. Winning this award opens up even more opportunities to do so.' Interested to read her story? tno.to/rw0...Show more
