The Soft Robotic Matter group at AMOLF is looking for interns that will work on the 3D printing of soft robots. While typically these soft robots are fabricated by casting …
Scientific Internship: Understanding Regulation of Actin Dynamics
Actin filaments are one of the key components of the cytoskeleton of all higher organisms. They form dynamic networks involved in mechanical integrity, motility and transport. Our group is interested …
Scientific Internship: Superfluids of light in a tunable microcavity
In this project you will set in motion fluids of light in a tunable microcavity. Your goal will be to observe a room-temperature superfluid of light, which will propagate around …
Scientific Internship: Structural basis of the activity of myosin motor proteins
Networks of actin filaments and myosin motor proteins are very fundamental structures in cells. They are responsible for cell deformation during cell migration and cell division. What is really fascinating …
