AMOLF researcher Christiaan Van Campenhout has found a new, simple method to create a material with a regular pattern of crystalline bands. The pattern formed by the crystals is not …
SHINE consortium receives NWO funding to combine the best of two worlds
A consortium consisting of AMOLF and other academic partners in the Netherlands receives funding from the NWO Research Infrastructure (RI) call for the project ‘Shining light on atomic-scale processes’ (SHINE).
Regular patterns – like those found in nature – now also produced in the lab
AMOLF researchers have found a new method for producing layered materials. Inspired by nature, they developed a physical-chemical process that yields highly regular microstructures. They describe this in a paper …
Light-controlled spontaneous growth of nanostructures PhD student Marloes Bistervels from the Self-Organizing Matter research group at AMOLF has managed to use light to very precisely control the formation of nanocomposites …
Licht stuurt de spontane groei van nanostructuren Promovendus Marloes Bistervels van de AMOLF onderzoeksgroep Self-Organizing Matter, is het gelukt om de vorming van nanocomposieten in de vorm van koralen of …
AMOLF researchers Lukas Helmbrecht and Wim Noorduin have developed a reactive ink that can be painted on an equally reactive canvas. The ink reacts with the material on the canvas …
AMOLF-onderzoekers Lukas Helmbrecht en Wim Noorduin ontwikkelden een reactieve inkt om op een eveneens reactief canvas een patroon te schilderen. De inkt reageert met het materiaal op het canvas tot …

AMOLF-groepsleider Wim Noorduin is benoemd tot bijzonder hoogleraar Self-Organizing Matter aan de Faculteit der Natuurwetenschappen, Wiskunde en Informatica van de Universiteit van Amsterdam (UvA). De leerstoel is ingesteld vanwege de …
Wim Noorduin appointed professor by special appointment at the University of Amsterdam
Wim Noorduin has been appointed professor by special appointment of Self-Organizing Matter at the Faculty of Science at the University of Amsterdam (UvA). The chair was established on behalf of …
Transforming Self-Assembled Architectures into Functional Materials
Imagine if a material would arrange itself into a shape suited for its application. It may result in a catalyst that maximizes its own surface area for improved efficiency or …
