Scientific Internship: Brownian ratchets with nanomechanical resonators
Heat arises from the random agitation of atoms and molecules. Because thermal agitation is random, it is very difficult to extract useful work from it: If we connect an object …
AMOLF en het Advanced Research Center for Nano-Lithography (ARCNL) verrichten wetenschappelijk onderzoek met circa 100 experimentele opstellingen, die door mechanici, elektronici en software engineers in samenwerking met wetenschappers worden ontwikkeld …
Scientific Internship: Can bacteria learn by association?
Associative learning, the process by which an organism develops through experience a relationship between two environmental events, is a hallmark of animal behavior. It is well-established that diverse animals, from …
Scientific Internship: Criticality in the bacterial brain
Many biological systems, arguably even the human brain, are tuned at criticality, the tipping point between order and disorder. Recently, by measuring random (thermal) fluctuations in a protein signaling circuit …
Can an elastic structure get out of a maze, without any control computer, just by snapping, bending and buckling? Can we build robots that have no electronics or hydraulics, yet …
In deze veelzijdige functie werk je in een modern laboratorium, dat beschikt over een groot aantal state-of-the-art apparaten. Als onderzoekstechnicus ondersteun je het NanoLab met elektronische, mechatronische en (fijn)mechanische werkzaamheden.
By designing the structure of a material — hence creating a ‘meta-material’— we can control with great precision how waves will propagate in it. This control allows us realise a …
Postdoc: Discovering the biophysical basis of CAR T cell function
As a postdoc in our Physics of Cellular Interactions group headed by Dr. Kristina Ganzinger, you will analyse the spatiotemporal dynamics of CAR T cell signalling both in live cells …
