PhD-student: Vibrating structures you can talk to: speech recognition with micro-mechanical neural networks
In the tale Ali Baba and the Forty thieves, saying ‘Open Sesame!’ opens the entrance to the thieves’ cave. Until now, the idea that an unpowered, inanimate object like a …
PhD-student: Nanophotonics and quantum physics with electrons and light
Did you know high-energy electrons can serve as efficient sources of optical excitation of matter? Our group has developed cathodoluminescence microscopy, in which we use 1-30 keV electrons in a …

Postdoc: Biophysics of symbiotic networks and communities
Symbiotic partnerships can drive the evolution of remarkably complex social behaviors, even in simple organisms. Recent experiments provide evidence that symbiotic microbes demonstrate transport and trade behaviors reminiscent of human …
Internship: Decentralized learning of locomotion in modular soft robots
The Soft Robotic Matter group at AMOLF is looking for interns at the Master level from a range of backgrounds (including physics, mathematics and engineering) that will work on the …
In 1961 Rolf Landauer made a groundbreaking discovery: Information is Physical. Landauer showed that erasing one bit of information—an elementary step in computation—requires at least kBT ln(2) of energy. Recently, …
Superconductivity is a fascinating state of matter where electron pairs flow without resistance. Superconductivity at ambient temperature and pressure is the greatest unfulfilled dream in physics and materials science. Recently, …
