SEP-commissie spreekt over ‘the magic of AMOLF’
Iedere zes jaar worden de NWO-instituten beoordeeld door een panel van onafhankelijke experts, volgens het zogeheten Standard Evalution Protocol (SEP). Een internationale commissie o.l.v. Søren Keiding (Aarhus University, Denemarken) kwam…
Stressed-out bacteria do measure up : As they grow, E. coli cells constantly mark sites where they can divide once the period of stress is over
When E. coli bacteria are physically distressed, they switch to stress mode and postpone cell division. But they still keep on growing, thus forming long filaments. AMOLF researchers discovered that…
Gestreste bacterie neemt zichzelf de maat : Groeiende E. coli markeert voortdurend waar-ie kan delen als de stress voorbij is
Als E. coli bacteriën zich onprettig voelen, gaan ze in stress-mode en stellen ze de celdeling uit. In de tussentijd groeien ze door tot lange slierten. AMOLF-onderzoekers ontdekten dat de…
Researchers combine spintronics and nanophotonics in 2D material
Spintronics in materials of just a few atoms thick is an emerging field in which the ‘spin’ of electrons is used to process data, rather than the charge. Unfortunately, the…
Three AMOLF projects in NWO program Materials for Sustainability
AMOLF participates in three new research projects that will start with funding through NWO’s program Materials for Sustainability (Mat4Sus). To enable a smooth transition from fossil fuels to a more…
