  • AMOLF-wetenschappers laten zien hoe signaalversterking door ruis werkt in systemen met geheugen

    Signalen kunnen versterkt worden door een optimale hoeveelheid ruis, maar dit fenomeen van zogenoemde stochastische resonantie is tamelijk fragiel. Onderzoekers van AMOLF hebben voor het eerst de rol van geheugen …

  • Perovskiet onder druk: ‘hete’ elektronen koelen sneller af

    In zonnecellen gaat ongeveer twee derde van de energie uit zonlicht verloren. De helft van die verliezen is toe te schrijven aan een proces dat ‘hot carrier cooling’ heet. Hoogenergetische …
