AMOLF-ARCNL PhD collaboration brings to light new nanostructure metrology technique
The joint PhD program between AMOLF and ARCNL continues to prove its strength in combining fundamental physics with industrial relevance. Falco Bijloo’s research, recently published in ACS Nano, showcases the …
New algorithm improves ability to track movements of cells in organs
Frustrated by the time cost of manually checking cell tracking data, AMOLF PhD student Max Betjes developed an algorithm to more efficient cell-tracking analysis. He validated this automated analysis on …
We are proud to share that AMOLF researchers have published a new paper in Physical Review Letters, entitled “Exact Computation of Transfer Entropy with Path Weight Sampling.” The study presents …
Water molecules under control: AMOLF researchers open new path to sustainable industrial chemistry
Researchers at AMOLF have demonstrated vibrational strong coupling in water layers only a few nanometers thick at metal surfaces. The study, published in Advanced Optical Materials and led by group …
Tiny thermometers: measuring heat flow dissipating via nanoparticles
How do materials behave when heated with light at the scale of billionths of a meter? Researchers at AMOLF and Kobe University have developed a method to watch this process …
Cathodoluminescence research advances measurements of light matter interactions
Researchers in the Photonic Materials group have published their latest findings using cathodoluminescence techniques to measure free electrons moving along a metal surface. The paper ‘Angle-resolved cathodoluminescence interferometry of plasmonic …
Inside living cells, ribosomes produce roughly five hundred brand-new protein chains every second, and each one must fold into the right 3D shape - or risk disease. New research shows …
The conference Metamaterials2025 brought together 400 researchers from around the world to share their results and vision. Metamaterials was held at Felix Meritis in Amsterdam from September 2 – 6.
Cells on the inner surface of the intestine are replaced every few days. But, how does this work? It was always assumed that cells leave the intestinal surface because excess …
