AMOLF researchers have used the special properties of perovskite semiconductors to develop a simple spray test to demonstrate the presence of lead. Perovskite is a material suitable for use in …
Shells, skeletons, and bones are all made of crystals. To function properly these crystals need to grow at the right time and place. Inspired by these natural processes, AMOLF researchers …
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 …
AMOLF group leader Wim Noorduin (Self-Organizing Matter) has received an ERC Consolidator grant amounting 2.4 million euros from the European Research Council (ERC). In addition to being an AMOLF group …
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 …
Bij zijn aanstelling op AMOLF omschreef groepsleider Wim Noorduin zijn groeiende kristalstructuren als ‘een microlandschap om in te verdwalen’. Maar Noorduin wilde niet alleen maar verdwalen; samen met zijn onderzoekers …
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 …
