CareFree Models for real-time decision-making
The CareFree Models project provides a solution by introducing a more efficient and automated approach to model development and maintenance.
-
CHIROMAG
The CHIROMAG project aims to discover ultrafast and energy-efficient ways to control magnetic topological states, by joining scientific communities in ultrafast magnetism, spintronics, magnonics, photonics and advanced spectroscopy.
-
Colloid Synthesis
In our group, we use a wide range of particles made from different materials and with different shapes including raspberries, rods, banana-shaped particles, and dumbbells.
-
Optical Tweezing
In the Dullens Lab we can tune the properties of our colloidal particles such that we can control and manipulate both individual and groups of colloids with infrared lasers (optical tweezers) whilst combining this with simultaneous optical imaging.
-
Two-dimensional Systems
In our laboratory, we use colloidal monolayers composed of relatively large (~1-10 µm ) colloidal particles, which are strongly confined to the surface of their cell and behave as a quasi-two dimensional system.
-
Crystals and grain boundaries
In our group, we study various aspect of grain boundaries, such as their migration dynamics in terms of particle motion and dislocation dynamics.
-
Driven Systems
In our experiments, we focus on driving systems that are subject to one or more optical traps. We can drive particles through this so-called optical potential energy landscape.
-
Thermal-to-athermal systems
Using the OCULI particles developed by our group we investigate the rotational how rotational dynamics change as we cross from one realm into another.
-
Colloidal liquid crystals
Liquid crystals are a fascinating state of matter. How do particle shapes like rods and bananas form them? We use microscopy to reveal their structure and dynamics.
-
Sit with a scientist in the 'Walking park'
The ‘Walking Park’ is a pop-up park that moves to a different spot in the city center every three months. The new video series "Sit with a Scientist" is connected to the pop-up park.
-
ASTRAL: Novel technologies for data transfer
ASTRAL will exploit the exclusive ability of light to initiate ultrafast spin dynamics and will attempt to interconvert femtosecond laser pulses into large-amplitude ultrashort SW pulses.
-
Studying RNA-metabolite interactions
In Velema’s project, researchers will study how RNA interacts with small molecules in the cell, called metabolites.
-
Robot lab for Big Chemistry in the Netherlands
The interdisciplinary research programme aims to build a revolutionary robot lab that combines chemistry and artificial intelligence (AI) and that will enrich the scientific infrastructure for chemistry in the Netherlands.
-
Brain-inspired computing
In the project' Neuromorphic computational and data Science: towards disruptively green computing', IBM, SURF and Radboud University investigate how neuromorphic hardware can meet green and sustainable energy need.
-
Molecular properties and light emission in electroluminescent devices
The research study provides a blueprint for future systematic research to unravel how a current flow in an electroluminescent device such as an OLED eventually leads to light and what the role the molecular properties play.
-
Copper-Catechol Synergy for the Development of an Energy-Dense and Long-Lived Redox Flow Battery
The project aims to develop a new generation of copper redox flow battery that have a long lifetime (>20 years) and higher energy density than the state-of-the-art copper redox flow batteries.
-
Operando NMR methods for studying electrochemical ammonia synthesis
This project seeks to develop and apply new nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods to understand electrocatalytic reaction mechanisms. NMR is a non-invasive, atom-specific, and quantitative spectroscopic method.
-
Remote NMR (R-NMR)
Remote NMR (R-NMR) is 3 years project by 26 European NMR groups/entities that aims to design and deliver a platform for remote access capabilities to Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) Research infrastructures (RIs).
-
DPI HYPERFAST
Developing hyperpolarised and 1H Fast MAS NMR spectroscopy to study performance polymers.
-
Single cell technology in drug discovery
Better understanding of complex biological processes at the cellular level, can lead to better understanding of how drug molecules work, better predicting side effects, and which patient groups benefit more or less from medication.
