To work with extreme specifications to build a machine that meets the requirements that are still years ahead from now. For ASML’s engineers, it’s everyday’s business. They follow the in 1965 invented Moore’s Law, that serves as the heartbeat for technological evolution that manufacturers of microchips, ASML’s customers, strive for. So, ASML basically has a glass sphere that predicts what its lithography machines should be able to do. However, the development of these machines requires ASML to venture on technological adventures – expeditions that often seem impossible, but are ever surprising. ...

They are hung around the necks of the brand new board members every change GMM, they are visible on every board photo. Yet very little is known about them, despite the fact that when handed over to the new board members a story is told about why each one belongs to a specific board position. I’m talking, of course, about Scintilla’s chains of office. During my period as part of a candidate board it became clear that the chains of office were no longer insured. ...

On the 7th of September 2021, the 92nd board took the scepter of the 91st board of E.T.S.V. Scintilla. In this article they will introduce themselves and tell you all about their history and their goals this year. You get to know their motivation for doing a board year and their hobbies (besides being active in Scintilla committees). Of course they included some random fun-facts about themselves too! Their stories are accompanied with several pictures from their photo shoot. ...

After a tremendous amount of effort and countless nights of sleep studying you have finally achieved your goal. Three or five years (or six, eight, maybe ten..?) of hard work have finally paid off. You have mastered the concepts of electrical engineering and you are ready to put all those skills and knowledge into action! Just one small thing, where to start? The field of electrical engineering is big, very big and it still grows bigger day by day. ...

While the first (non-online) year of university almost always comes with many unique opportunities, each study usually has its own special perks. For EE, one of these perks is Scintilla, the Electrical Engineering student association. As a new student this year (or a returning second-year), you get the chance to become an active member of the association and join one of Scintilla’s many committees - but what does that even mean? ...

Dear Vonk reader, Maybe the holiday has already started for you or you have to do a few resits. Nevertheless, I hope you are enjoying the beautiful weather together with the slowly loosening of the measures against corona. While a year ago the summer atmosphere was not here on campus without the BBQs and drinks. At this moment I only miss the summer BBQ of the SCALA, the soothing vocals of Men in Music and the optional hot tub to chill in with your Scintilla swimming trunks. ...
