Physical experiments and computer simulations show how to pack a finite quantity of spheres in the most efficient way.

Researchers at Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ and at TU Wien create special light waves that can penetrate even opaque materials as if the material was not even there.

Danny Broere featured in a one-minute movie talking about ‘a chemical toolbox for the future’.

A broad partnership around solar fuels and chemistry receives a 4 million euro grant from the European Union’s Horizon funding programme. This enables the team to greatly strengthen the solar fuels and chemical community within Europe.

Utrecht researchers have developed a new type of sensor, about 500 times smaller than the width of a human hair.

Utrechtse onderzoekers hebben een nieuw type sensor ontwikkeld, ongeveer 500 keer kleiner dan de breedte van een menselijke haar.

SARS-CoV-2 virus particles can resist high physical forces. This determines partly their success, according to a publication of the new UU-professor Jan Lipfert in PNAS.

Biofysici van de UU hebben gemeten hoe zout de draaiing van DNA beïnvloedt. De nieuwe kennis is van belang voor het maken van nanomaterialen.

UU biophysicists have measured how the twist of DNA is affected by the presence of salt. The new knowledge is important for making nanomaterials.

Onderzoekers in de hele wereld hebben zich gestort op 2D materialen zoals grafeen, waarmee een heel scala aan materiaaleigenschappen kan worden gemaakt met weinig materiaal. Grafeen is het bekendste 2D materiaal, maar niet het handigste.

Researchers around the world have been diving into 2D materials such as graphene, which can be used to generate a multitude of material properties using only very little material Graphene is the best known 2D material, but not the most useful.

Lars Killian, Master student Nanomaterials Science, wint dit jaar een van de Unilever Research prijzen. Deze prijs wordt elk jaar uitgereikt aan 13 Masterstudenten die excellent onderzoek hebben geleverd op het gebied van de VN Sustainable Development Goals.

Lars Killian, Master student of Nanomaterials Science, wins one of this year’s Unilever Research Prizes. The Unilever Research Prize is an annual award granted to young scientists who have done exceptional work on topics that are relevant to one or more of the Sustainable Development Goals.
