This thesis explores the theoretical and observational properties of distant massive galaxies that harbour active black holes in their centres and shine brightly at radio wavelengths.

This thesis aims to enhance our understanding of galaxies by testing theoretical models of galaxy formation against observations, particularly in the cases of extreme systems which have been found to have an excess of baryonic mass in their central regions, in the form of either supermassive black holes…

A remarkable population of short period transiting rocky exoplanets with equilibrium temperatures on the order of 2,000 K has recently been discovered.

Sinds de Verenigde Naties in 2000 Resolutie 1325 heeft aangenomen over vrouwen, vrede en veiligheid, komt er langzaam maar zeker meer erkenning voor het gegeven dat vrouwen een belangrijke en beslissende rol zouden moeten hebben als het gaat om het voorkomen en oplossen van conflicten.

In this thesis, we show how MRFM can usefully contribute to the field of condensed-matter.

In order to gain a better insight into the basis of the rapid jasmonic acid (JA)-mediated stress response, an integrated approach using a targeted high-resolution mass spectrometry-based (HRMS) platform, was conducted to monitor the metabolism of JA using the model system of cell suspension cultures…

In this thesis, we use low-frequency and high-frequency radio observations to address the following questions regarding quasars: is the radio loud/quiet quasar dichotomy real?

In this thesis, we describe the latest advances in SQUID-detected Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy (MRFM).

Het onderzoek van de groep van Mario van der Stelt naar gouden standaarden voor pijnstillende wiet zonder de gebruikelijke high is in een artikel van NOS op 3 verschenen. In een interview legt van der Stelt uit wat dit onderzoek precies voor de wetenschap en de samenleving kan betekenen.

Gold nanorods are biocompatible nanoparticles that present an excellent two-photon signal that can be used to get high spatial resolution inside living cells. Gold nanorods are photostable and therefore can be followed inside cells for long time, with possible applications as trackers in live cells.
