Researchers combine spintronics and nanophotonics in 2D material
Spintronics in materials of just a few atoms thick is an emerging field in which the ‘spin’ of electrons is used to process data, rather than the charge. Unfortunately, the …

Bacteria can control where they go using a signaling network of protein molecules. Scientists at AMOLF have developed a microscopy method that allows them to see how individual bacteria use …
Bacteriën gebruiken een signaalnetwerk van eiwitmoleculen om te bepalen waar ze naar toe willen. Wetenschappers van AMOLF hebben een microscopiemethode ontwikkeld waarmee ze kunnen zien hoe individuele bacteriën dit netwerk …
The outermost layer of ice behaves like liquid water, even at a temperature of –30°C. Physicists at AMOLF have irrefutably demonstrated this using a modern surface-sensitive measuring technique. At lower …
Schaatsen doe je op water, zelfs als het heel koud is
De buitenste laag van ijs gedraagt zich als vloeibaar water, zelfs bij een temperatuur van dertig graden onder nul. Dat hebben natuurkundigen van AMOLF onomstotelijk laten zien met een moderne …
