The recently introduced nature-originated deep eutectic solvents, so-called natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) are considered as truly green solvents, which composed of natural ingredients found abundantly in organisms.

Het onderzoeksgebied Natural Computing is uitgegroeid tot een onderzoeksgebied met een spannende interactie tussen informatica en natuurwetenschappen en een belangrijke katalysator voor deze twee-weg interactie. Dit driedelige handboek van meer dan 2000 pagina's is een belangrijk verslag van deze belangrijke…

Streptomyces present a valuable platform for natural product discovery. Lugdunomycin is a novel angucycline-derived polyketide from Streptomyces sp QL37, with unprecedented skeleton and antimicrobial activity.

Solar energy is used by photosynthetic organisms to drive energy required cellular processes. Is absorbed by two groups of pigments, located in the LHCs.

What performance criteria does a new technology have to fulfill in order to be added to the list of future energy options and what constraints exist in terms of broad market penetration?

As a virtually inexhaustible source, solar energy plays a major role in future global energy scenarios.

With increasing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and their detrimental effect on the global climate, modern society needs to push for more renewable energy sources. Storing widely accessible and abundant solar energy in chemical bonds in the form of molecular fuel via artificial photosynthesis…

Multi-criteria optimalisatie is een effectieve techniek voor het vinden van optimale oplossingen die een afweging bieden tussen verschillende, tegenstrijdige criteria. Het heeft zijn toepassing gevonden in de wereld om ons heen omdat bij het oplossen van praktische, re¨ele wereld problemen men gewoonlijk…

Natural language processing, een type van kunstmatige intelligentie, wordt na jaren van ontwikkelingen toegepast op wetenschappelijke vakgebieden buiten de informatica. Suzan Verberne werkt al jaren aan natural language processing, en vertelt in De Volkskrant over enkele van haar projecten.

Mycoheterotrophy is a particular mode of life in which plants obtain carbohydrates from their associated fungal partners, instead of by using photosynthesis.

Solar energy harnessed by plants and algae has great potential to be converted into biofuels for future generations.

This thesis provides explicit expressions for the density functions of absolutely continuous invariant measures for general families of interval maps, that include random maps and infinite measure transformations, not necessarily number systems.

In the search for sustainable energy solutions, the idea of artificial photosynthesis has been proposed as an approach with which to use water and sunlight to produce hydrogen.

Plants and soils from natural ecosystems harbor great diversity of soil microorganisms, which could potentially contribute to the sustainability of horticulture. The knowledge about using wild plant species and soil from natural ecosystem to improve the crop health will advance the application of ecological…

Natural resources often stretch across borders that separate modern nation states. This can create conflict and limit opportunities for regulated consumption of their goods and services, but also provide opportunities for joint multinational efforts that exceed single country capabilities.
