AMOLF-onderzoekers publiceren hoogtepunten van nanofotonica in Science
Het onderzoeksgebied nanofotonica, de wetenschap en de toepassing van licht op de nanoschaal, is in de afgelopen jaren snel gegroeid. AMOLF-onderzoekers behoren tot de pioniers van dit vakgebied. In een …
The research field of nanophotonics, the science and application of light at the nanoscale, has seen a rapid growth in the last years, with AMOLF researchers among the pioneers. In …
Vortices in hall of mirrors show spinning light the way out
Researchers from FOM institute AMOLF have used the classical toolbox of physics to make predictions about the quantum world. Using a classical experiment, they showed how the direction in which …
Visiting professor Andrea Alù wins Alan T. Waterman Award
The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) has named Andrea Alù as the recipient of this year's Alan T. Waterman Award. Professor Alù (University of Texas in Austin) is currently KNAW …
Onderzoekers van FOM-instituut AMOLF en Stanford University hebben een nieuwe methode ontwikkeld om driedimensionale afbeeldingen te maken van ultrakleine objecten. Ze combineerden daarvoor twee bestaande technieken: kathodoluminescentie en tomografie. Deze …
A team of researchers from AMOLF and Stanford University has developed a novel way to make three-dimensional optical images of nanoscale objects. They irradiate the object with a 30 keV …
Solar cell researchers combine the best of two worlds with mineral based nanowires
For the first time a team of researchers from FOM Institute AMOLF have synthesized a mineral (AgFeS2) to create semiconducting nanowires. This earth-abundant semiconductor has a direct band gap of …
Marie Sklodowska-Curie fellowship for antifreeze protein research
AMOLF postdoc Konrad Meister from the research group of Huib Bakker was honoured with a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship amounting 165 k€ for his proposal Hydration Dynamics of Antifreeze Proteins.
Scientists from FOM institute AMOLF have observed monster waves of light. Monster waves are waves that seem to emerge out of nowhere and then rapidly disappear again. The researchers have shown …
Wetenschappers van het FOM-instituut AMOLF hebben monstergolven van licht waargenomen. Monstergolven zijn golven die schijnbaar uit het niets opkomen en daarna snel weer verdwijnen. De onderzoekers laten zien dat ze …
