We consider the propagation of electrical signals through nerve fibres.

Galaxies form and live inside dark matter haloes. As a consequence, they are exposed to the tidal fields generated by the surrounding matter distribution: this imprints a preferential direction to the galaxy shapes, which leads to a coherent alignment on physically close galaxies, called intrinsic a…

Hoeveel energie en uitstoot van broeigaskas kunnen Nederlandse woningen besparen? Xining Yang gebruikt Leiden als voorbeeld en laat met zijn onderzoek zien hoe enorm de impact kan zijn. Als we tenminste harder aan de slag gaan met verduurzamen. Yang promoveert 28 juni op de modellen die hij ontwikke…

Shabaz Sultan en Simon Portegies Zwart, met de hulp van Vincent Icke, hebben één van de tien Surf Innovation Challenge Awards gewonnen voor hun onderzoek naar 'Interactive high-performance laboratory for Chaos'. De winnaars hebben een geldprijs van 10.000 euro ontvangen en krijgen 6 maanden (tot 1 juni…

Hydrodesulfurization (HDS) is an ubiquitous part of oil refining that ensures that fuels are cleaned of impurities and environment release of pollutants such as SOx and NOx gasses are minimized.

This thesis focuses on using liposomes in two different treatment strategies; vaccination (or immunotherapy) and delivery of a small molecule, and in two different disease models; cancer and atherosclerosis.

The skin is our natural barrier and lipids are a key part of this barrier. In the outer skin layer, the stratum corneum (SC), lipids form a densely organized structure dependent on the composition of these lipids.

The energy system is at the heart of two of the greatest challenges of the 21st century: decreasing CO2 emissions to meet the ambitions of the Paris agreement while fulfilling the growing energy demand associated with the economic aspirations of a growing world population.

Naar motivatie wordt al 100 jaar onderzoek verricht. En dat is niet verwonderlijk, want motivatie ligt aan de basis van ons bestaan. Waarom doen we de dingen die we doen? Waarom willen we iets, of stellen we juist uit? Maar ook in grote dingen: waarom worden we verliefd, kopen we een huis, starten we…

This thesis addresses the problem of designing performance and energy efficient embedded streaming systems, that is, systems which process a stream of input data coming from the environment and generate a stream of output data going into the environment.

Laboratory, observation and modeling work on the dissociation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in interstellar environments and the formation of new molecular species through the fragmentation process.

Material circularity and energy efficiency are highly relevant and intertwined issues for the transition towards a carbon-neutral and circular built environment. In the Netherlands, the building sector has been rendered a priority towards a circular and low-carbon society.
