Evolution seems to be an unpredictable process. However, predicting the constraints of evolution is possible. Researchers from AMOLF and the French ESPCI have demonstrated this using their mathematical method, followed …
Olive oil sheds new light on universality in phase transitions
A simple drop of olive oil in a system of photons bouncing between two mirrors, has revealed universal aspects of phase transitions in physics. Researchers at AMOLF used an oil-filled …

Collageen is de lijm die ons lichaam bij elkaar houdt. Het zit in onze huid, botten, spieren, kraakbeen, gewrichtsbanden, haren, nagels – kortom, in bijna elk weefsel in ons lichaam.
Collagen is the glue that holds our bodies together. It can be found in our skin, bones, muscles, cartilage, ligaments, hair, nails - in short, in almost every tissue in …
Today the European Research Council (ERC) announced that 185 scientists receive an Advanced Grant of 2.5 million euros. One of them is AMOLF group leader Pieter Rein ten Wolde. He …
Topology protects light propagation in photonic crystal
Researchers of AMOLF and TU Delft have seen light propagate in a special material without it suffering from reflections. The material, a photonic crystal, consists of two parts that each …
Licht gaat ongehinderd de hoek om: topologie beschermt lichtgeleiding in fotonisch kristal
Onderzoekers van AMOLF en TU Delft hebben licht zien voortbewegen in een bijzonder materiaal, waarin het geen last heeft van weerkaatsingen. Het materiaal, een fotonisch kristal, bestaat uit twee delen …
