In the traditional theory of linear elasticity, superposition dictates that the response of a material does not depend on the sequence of the applied mechanical actuations.

This thesis examines silicon pore optics (SPO), a technology that exploits silicon wafers from the semiconductor industry to create extremely high quality X-ray optics, by studying its manufacturing process, applications, and prospects.

Catalysis is of extreme relevance in the production of everyday materials and plays a central role in many aspects of our life.

Heterogeneous catalysis is one of the fundamental processes of modern life, being common in industrial refinery and hydrogen vehicles, all the way to the living cell. The dissociation of H2 on Cu(111) is an important benchmark system for studying heterogeneous catalysis, with a large and varied amount…

De Trompeuse en Resolution waren de eerste piratenschepen van het gouden zeeroverstijdperk, dat eindigde in de jaren 1720 met de iconische kapiteins als Edward Teach, Ann Bonny en Jack Rackham. De reputatie van kapitein Jean Hamlin en zijn bemanning was eind zeventiende eeuw afschuwwekkend.

Op 3 december 2019 verdedigde Hanna Bosdriesz haar proefschrift 'Furthering the fight against impunity in Latin America: the contributions of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights to domestic accountability processes'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door promotoren prof.dr. L.J. van den Herik…

Bacteriophages, or phages for short, are the most abundant biological entity in nature. They shape bacterial communities and are a major driving force in bacterial evolution.

What are the life-cycle environmental impacts and risks to human health and ecosystems of a III-V/Si PV system? How can these be expected to change when the system is deployed at industrial scale? What are the most favourable recycling scenarios?

Time-series forecasting through modelling sequences of temporally dependent observations has many industrial and scientific applications. While machine learning models have been widely used to create time-series forecasting models, creating efficient and performant time-series forecasting models is…

This thesis is an experimental study of the UV irradiation of the interstellar ice analogues, relevant for the different stages of the star and planet formation sequence.

Carbon dioxide capture and utilization technologies are necessary to create a truly circular economy. The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide to formate is an appealing carbon utilization method as it can be performed at room temperature and pressure, it only requires two electrons, and it has…

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.

Een complete transformatie van de staalcyclus in Nederland met als ultiem doel een koolstof-neutrale staalsector in 2050. Daarvoor krijgt het programma Groeien met groen staal 100 miljoen euro van het Nationaal Groeifonds. Vanuit Leiden helpt hoogleraar Industriële ecologie René Kleijn mee.

What is the role of the rebound effect in achieving environmental savings from transport eco-innovation? Are traditional definitions of the rebound effect adequate in the context of transformative innovations and multidimensional environmental issues?

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.
