In the last decade, the redox interconversion between metal thiolate and disulfide compounds has been extensively investigated for copper, but not for other transition metal ions.

Modeling and analysis of cyber-physical systems are still challenging. One reason is that cyber-physical systems involve many different parts (cyber or physical), of different nature (discrete or continuous), and in constant interaction via sensing and actuating.

The long-held desire - to link structure directly to function and to explain molecular mechanisms based on basic chemical or physical principles - is finally coming closer, satisfying not only our scientific curiosity but also offering new solutions to the many challenges in the field of health, energy…

Hoewel een wereldwijde algemene koolstofprijs als snelste en goedkoopste manier wordt gezien om klimaatverandering tegen te gaan, zou deze prijs grote gevolgen hebben voor de economische posities van landen. Hauke Ward, onlangs gestart bij de Universiteit Leiden, schrijft in het tijdschrift Energy Economics…

Leiden University and the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management are involved in a collaboration in the form of a research project titled 'Data-Driven Risk Assessment in Infrastructure Networks'

One of the key limitations of the direct imaging of exoplanets at small angular separations are quasi-static speckles that originate from evolving non-common path aberrations (NCPA) to which the primary adaptive optics system is inherently blind. The main focus of this thesis is the development and…

How can we broaden youth participation in STEM Learning

The research presented in this thesis concerns one of the most important questions in software engineering of our time: how can we make sure that software is free from memory safety bugs?

Does knowledge of environmental performance change farmer's behaviour?

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

Advanced sensing techniques require graphene with high quality and well-controlled surface chemistry.

The research group Science Communication and Society aims to understand how science communication works to improve the interaction between science and society. Central themes are ‘Bridging the gap between experts and the general public’ and ‘Evaluating Science Communication’.
