Nature uses a special class of histone proteins, histone variants, to modulate the properties of chromatin at defined genomic locations.

The LIACS Media Lab has received a research grant from the worldwide leading graphics hardware company NVIDIA. The grant exists of newly developed hardware utilizing thousands of processors. LIACS researchers will use it to investigate deep learning in understanding imagery from sources such as MRI…

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is one of the main reasons for drug attrition during pre-clinical and clinical phases of drug development as well as for drug withdrawal post-marketing.

Op vrijdag 25 mei is de oratie van Tjerk Oosterkamp over zijn leeropdracht 'Experimentele Natuurkunde'.

Even though more than 4000 extra-solar planets are known today, only a small fraction of these has been captured in an image. To better understand the planet formation mechanisms in solar-like environments we started the Young Suns Exoplanet Survey (YSES).

Is het mogelijk om oxytocine reacties bij gezonde personen farmacologisch te conditioneren en de neurale circuits te identificeren die aan deze conditionering ten grondslag liggen?

Triplet superconductivity refers to a condensate of equal-spin Cooper pairs (pairs of electrons with equal spin).

The radio sky harbours both galactic and extragalactic sources of arcminute- to degree-scale emission of various physical origins. To discover extragalactic diffuse emission in the Cosmic Web beyond galaxy clusters, one must image low–surface brightness structures amidst a sea of brighter compact fore-…

This dissertation is an experimental study of laser-generated, atmospheric pressure, transient toroidal helium plasmas.

Chemical-induced organ toxicity is a major concern in the development and use of chemicals, including drugs, pesticides, industrial chemicals and cosmetics. In the last decades, the onset and progression of chemical-induced organ toxicity has been linked amongst others to perturbation of mitochondri…

In human cells, a meter-long DNA is condensed inside a micrometer-sized cell nucleus. Simultaneously, the genetic code must remain accessible for its replication and transcription to functional proteins.

Veel neuropsychologen maken voor hun onderzoek gebruik van de hersenscanners in het LUMC. Toen de coronacrisis uitbrak werden de toegangseisen voor het ziekenhuis flink aangescherpt, en dreigde heel wat psychologisch onderzoek in de soep te lopen. Dankzij goede protocollen kunnen de onderzoekers nu…

In this thesis, the researcher developed a nanosystem based on the metallophilic Interaction between cyclometalated complexes.

The genetic information of all living organisms is contained in their DNA. Cells modify the degree of DNA compaction by epigenetics, which largely determines what genes are read out and which genes are transcriptionally silent.

Speciale versterkstoffen kunnen MRI-scanners honderden malen gevoeliger maken. Leidse fysici hebben nu een methode gevonden om hun efficiëntie te toetsen. Gevoeligere MRI-scans kunnen bijvoorbeeld taaislijmziekte of Parkinson begrijpelijker maken. Publicatie op 18 januari in PCCP.

A plasma is an ionized gas with very low electrical resistivity. As such, magnetic field lines are 'frozen in' and move with the fluid. Magnetic field lines that are linked, knotted and tangled, cannot be undone by the fluid motions.

Pulsars were first discovered in 1967 and since then the population has grown and expanded over several wavelengths.

Op 29 november zal Lex Bosman, hoogleraar architectuurgeschiedenis aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam, een afscheidscollege houden, getiteld: "Ruimte: een architectuurhistorische verkenning". Het college vindt plaats in de Aula van de Universiteit van Amsterdam.

This thesis presents the results of a study on the interfaces of insulating oxides with and without the insertion of a magnetic layer.

During my PhD research, I studied the photon statistics of light emitted by a microcavity that contains a single quantum dot (QD) on resonance.

This thesis aims to improve the detection from ultra-weak single emitter by enhancing their emission properties with plasmonic nanostructures. We exploit the wet-chemically synthesized single crystalline gold nanorods (GNRs) as our basic frameworks in the whole studies, simply because of their unique…

Geometric phases lead to a nontrivial interference result when an electron's different quantum mechanical paths choices encircle a magnetic coil in an Aharonov-Bohm experiment.

A.s. zondag 29 april om 15.25 zendt Omroep Friesland een documentaire uit over David Gorlaeus (TV Nederland 2). Dit naar aanleiding van zijn 400e sterfdag op 27 april. Op die 27e april (a.s. vrijdag) is er in Cornjum een herdenkingssymposium.

The research in this thesis is focused on tomographic reconstruction based on two imaging modalities in electron microscopy.
