BrainTrain verbindt wetenschappers met jongeren. Dit realiseren we door een platform aan te bieden waar wetenschappers leren van de ervaringen van jongeren, en waar jongeren alles over hun eigen (brein)ontwikkeling kunnen ontdekken. We organiseren jongerenpanels en creëren korte podcasts waarin zowel…

The elementary excitations of magnets are called spin waves, and their corresponding quasi-particles are known as magnons. The rapidly growing field of Magnonics aims at using them as information carriers in a new generation of electronic devices, (almost) free of electric currents.

The disease acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by fast progression and low survival rates.

The formation and evolution of galaxies is fundamentally driven by the formation of new stars out of cold gas.

To our regret we have to postpone the annual Medieval Studies Day of the Dutch Research School for Medieval Studies, the Reflection Symposium, which was planned for December 17, to the spring of 2022. (Exact date to be decided). The present Covid-19 situation does not allow for a safe and productive…

De Theatercolleges van de Leidse Schouwburg bieden een avond vermaak met inhoud. Dit voorjaar staat een aantal Leidse wetenschappers op de planken.

Digitale data zijn overal, maar hoe erg is dat? Universitair docent Alexander Pleijter wijst op NEMO Kennislink op een aantal voordelen van de digitalisering van de samenleving.

Meer dan dertig Nederlandstalige podcasts verspreiden structureel misinformatie, blijkt uit onderzoek van Pointer. Universitair docent Michael Klos sprak met Pointer over het voorkomen van misinformatie in de media: ‘Het realistische verhaal is dat je nooit honderd procent moderatie gaat krijgen.’

De eerste Nederlandse besmettingen met het coronavirus leidden tot twintig wijdverspreide berichten op Twitter met misinformatie. Ook verschenen lijsten met onbevestigde aantallen besmettingen en samenzweringstheorieën die beweren dat de ziekte met opzet wordt verspreid. Peter Burger vertelt over het…

How do you make a technology sustainable that does not even exist yet? Well, by bringing together an interdisciplinary team of pioneering European experts right at the start and paying attention to sustainability right from the development phase.

This thesis describes the development and validation of new high-contrast imaging techniques, with the ultimate goal of enabling the next generation of instruments for ELT-class telescopes to directly image Earth-like extra-solar planets orbiting around nearby stars.

Science is typically a patchwork of research contributions without much coordination. Especially in clinical trials, the follow-up studies that we do fail to be the most promising.

From surface science towards industrial practice using high-pressure scanning tunneling microscopy.

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

In this thesis, we extend the concept of null models as canonical ensembles of multi-graphs with given constraints and present new metrics able to characterize real-world layered systems based on their correlation patterns.

Systems with local constraints is a new finding in recent researches on complex systems. The heterogeneous spatial interactions and the temporal dependencies among those numerous units make it difficult to describe by traditional statistical physics.

The growing demand of energy indicates that global energy resources in the form of fossil fuels will not be sufficient in the future. In order to solve potential future energy problems development of a sustainable hydrogen economy is highly desirable.

In this PhD-thesis several new and existing data science application are described that are particularly focused on applications for tax administrations.
