Material that can both store and process information for low-energy computing
Researchers at AMOLF and the University of Konstanz have developed a mechanical material that can store, move, and process information within the same physical structure. The findings, published in Physical…
Researchers publish first global maps of the underground networks formed by mycorrhizal fungi
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are soil fungi that form symbiotic relationships with the roots of land plants. Together, they create vast underground networks that sustain plant life and help regulate Earth's…
Four PhD candidates close their AMOLF chapter

Three grants, three paths toward impact
Wiebke Albrecht AMOLF group leader Wiebke Albrecht has been awarded an NWO XS grant for the project ‘Mapping nanoscale heat generation and dissipation around plasmonic nanoparticles.’ …
Solar panels on AMOLF building
AMOLF roof with solar panels – Credits: AMOLF AMOLF recently switched on its own solar panels on its roof. During a live interview at an internal…
Researchers publish first global maps of the underground networks formed by mycorrhizal fungi
The catalyst, engineered at the nanoscale, enables highly selective photochemical reactions using only a fraction of the material normally required for such processes.

Writing words into smart materials
Researchers at AMOLF, EPFL, and Leiden University have developed a new way to store information in mechanical metamaterials. These are artificial materials that have been engineered to exhibit unique properties.…
