Scientific Internship: Light-induced proton transfer in water
Photobases are molecules that after being activated by light can react with water, taking up a proton (H+ ion) from one of the surrounding water molecules. The mechanism by which …
Scientific Internship: Machine learning for studying the timing of development in a nematode worm
How timing of development is controlled remains one of biology’s most enduring mysteries. For instance, how does the human body know to enter puberty more than ten years after its …
Scientific Internship: The cost of erasing one optical bit
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, …
Scientific Internship: The stochastic thermodynamics of gene expression
A hallmark of living systems is the ability to produce copies of information-carrying molecules such as DNA and mRNA. These molecules are polymers, and the ordering of the monomers, the polymer …
Scientific 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 …
Scientific Internship: Nanopattering for highly efficient perovskite LEDs
Light-emitting diodes are a key part of reducing the energy consumption of lighting. Perovskite LEDs are a top candidate for highly efficient and colour-pure LEDs. Current perovskite LEDs are internally …
Internship: Designing physical systems with intelligent behavior, GPU simulation of smart structures.
Physical systems can be designed to respond intelligently to external stimuli. For example, we have recently show that we can design a resonating structure that vibrates differently in response to …
Scientific Internship: 3D printing of soft robots with embedded smart fluidic circuits
The Soft Robotic Matter group at AMOLF is looking for research interns at the Master’s level from a range of backgrounds (Engineering, Physics, Materials Science) that will work on 3D …
Scientific Internship: Soft fluidic sensors for autonomous soft robots
The Soft Robotic Matter group at AMOLF is looking for an interns at the Master’s level from a range of backgrounds (including Physics, Mathematics and Engineering) that will work on …
