In dit vierde rapport worden ontwikkelingen besproken ten aanzien van het beleid met betrekking tot personen die terugkeren uit jihadistische strijdgebieden, zogeheten ‘terugkeerders’, voor de periode januari 2017 tot medio december 2018.

De Verdieping Bewaken en Beveiligen brengt verdieping aan op actuele gebeurtenissen en ontwikkelingen gerelateerd aan het stelsel Bewaken en Beveiligen.

Zwermen drones, voetgangers of de cellen in je lichaam. Dat zijn allemaal voorbeelden van actieve materie: materialen waarvan de bouwstenen autonoom kunnen bewegen. Dat is wat Luca Giomi bestudeert. Giomi is per 1 januari 2024 benoemd tot hoogleraar theoretische natuurkunde op het gebied van zachte…

Om goed onderbouwde besluiten over complexe onderwerpen zoals het klimaat, recht en gezondheid te kunnen nemen, zijn wetenschappelijke resultaten van groot belang. Maar wetenschappelijke resultaten bevatten altijd een mate van onzekerheid. Binnen het onderzoek Communicatie over onzekerheden wordt onderzocht…

Single-molecule spectroscopy has become a powerful method for using organic fluorescent molecules in numerous applications.

In this thesis, we present new laboratory data of interstellar dust analogues.

This thesis describes a study from both a theoreticaL and an experimental point of view.

Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are mechanical waves that travel along the surface of a material and find many applications in modern technologies due to the ease of excitation on piezoelectric substrates via interdigital transducers (IDTs).

This thesis discusses the physical and chemical processes than influence the composition of forming planets.

The specialisation Science Communication and Society (SCS) concerns science communication in a broad sense. The program focuses on the link between science and society and covers knowledge and skills in the field of science communication.

There are many interpretations of quantum mechanics, and ultimately experiments are needed to verify or falsify these interpretations.

In this thesis, the research focuses on the properties of dark matter and dark matter haloes and how they connect with the galaxies we can observe in the Universe.

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

One of the most important puzzles in modern astrophysics is the nature of dark matter.

At the largest scales, two ingredients dictate the distribution of matter in the Universe. The first is dark matter, acting as an invisible scaffolding held together by gravitational forces.

In this thesis unconventional tools based on fluidic interfaces were developed to study the surface and interfacial chemistry of graphene, to characterize the intrinsic properties of graphene, to disentangle the effects of substrate and of the environmental factors, and to improve handling protocols…

Stochastic resetting is simple enough to be approached analytically, yet modifies stochastic processes in a non-trivial way.

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

Hot astrophysical plasma is ubiquitous in the Universe, from comets in our Solar system to the largest scale structures -- the cosmic web filaments. These hot plasmas, with the temperature of a few millions of degrees, are often observed in the X-ray wavelength range.

For centuries astronomers studied the Universe by collecting light. Nowadays, we are living in times of great technological advancements, which allow us to explore our Universe in a new way - though gravitational wave radiation.

Dark matter is one of the biggest mysteries of the Universe. Its properties cannot be explained with the known laws of physics and elementary particles.

The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics states that a measurement collapses a wavefunction onto an eigenstate of the corresponding measurement operator.

We have conducted a full spectral line survey of the 3-13 micron region of two massive protostars, AFGL 2591 and AFGL 2136, for the first time at high spectral resolution.

Why do black holes emit thermal radiation? And how does a closed quantum system thermalize?

The way organisms develop from the initial single-cellular state to a complex final assembly like the human body, and how the final body is maintained throughout life, is one of the greatest mysteries and it’s understanding one of the biggest scientific challenges.

We find ourselves in an era of transition, not just towards a more computing- and data-driven society but also away from unsustainable fossil fuels as an energy source.
