2022
- Heino Falcke, Sera Markoff and Rob Fender: Blackholistic - colour movies of black holes and building a new telescope in Africa
2020
- Arno Kentgens, Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Benno Meier and Jan Korvin
The research team will focus on developing NMR methods whereby medicines can be screened at a high processing speed. The research team, led by Arno Kentgens, will develop a way of hyperpolarising liquid samples so that the signal intensity is amplified by a factor of 100-10,000 compared to standard NMR experiments.
- Willem Halffman, Raphaël Lévy, Cyrus Mody and Cyril Labbé
In the NanoBubbles project, data scientists, nano scientists and science researchers will investigate how erroneous claims in nanobiology can be rectified.
