Ice, the solid state of water, plays an important role on our planet as well as the entire universe.Despite the fact that an individual water molecule has a very simple structure, its chemical bonding in the solid phase can be surprisingly complex.

Gibbs measures, as used in Statistical Mechanics, have a definition that is remarkably similar to the definition ofg-measures, used in dynamical systems.

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…

Sound is everywhere in the marine environment and hearing is therefore a very important for stimuli for fish. They use sound for orientation and communication, during migration, aggregation and spawning, but also for detection of prey and predators.

This work describes the use of click-to-release chemistry to get spatiotemporal control over immunocytokine activity. Until now, immunocytokines (cytokines coupled to a tumor-targeting-moiety) remained active throughout the body, being able to bind their respective receptors, causing mild to severe…

Despite the history of studies on methanol formation from CO2, the dominant elementary reaction steps that constitute the chemical mechanism for this catalyzed process are not determined.

The parabolic Anderson model (PAM), which is the Cauchy problem for the heat equation with random potential. The PAM is a mathematical model that describes how mass (i.e. matter or energy) flows in a medium in the presence of a field of sources and sinks.

CREEA is a FP7 project on compiling and refining environmental and economic accounts. The project runs from April 2011 to March 2014.

Met een speciaal symposium in museum Boerhaave vierde ESO op maandag 26 september haar 60-jarig bestaan. Meer dan 100 wetenschappers, politici en mensen uit de industrie waren aanwezig om terug te kijken op samenwerkingen, mijlpalen en ontdekkingen. De Leidse astrochemicus Ewine van Dishoeck was één…

Bij de bouw van de ESO-sterrenwacht op Paranal in Chili – een van de grootste en meest geavanceerde telescoopfaciliteiten ter wereld – waren enkele van de knapste wetenschappers en ingenieurs betrokken. Nu hebben de Leidse astronoom Frans Snik en een team van toegewijde helpers dat nog eens dunnetjes…

How does one become a guest author for Nobel Prize winner Dr. Denis Mukwege Foundation? One of our alumni, Mariasole Forlani, can tell you all about it.

It researches (the possibilities for) the development of a set of principles and best practices for insolvency office holders by comparing multilateral treaties and soft law recommendations and national legislation within Europe.

Op 18 september 2019 verdedigde Huw Llewellyn zijn proefschrift 'An Institutional Perspective on the United Nations Criminal Tribunals: Governance, Independence and Impartiality'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door promotoren prof.dr. N.M. Blokker en prof.dr. L.J. van den Herik.

In this special edition of Information Polity there is a focus on the transparency challenges of using algorithms in government in decision-making procedures at the macro-, meso-, and micro-levels.

In this dissertation non-parametric Bayesian methods are used in the application of robotic vision.

How can we broaden youth participation in STEM Learning

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?

BioSolar Cells is a five-year research project in which ten knowledge institutions and 45 private industries work together.

What happens to electrical waves that have to cross gaps in insulation material around nerves in the human body

This study has been carried out in the community of Sukamiskin, a kelurahan (‘village’) in Bandung, the Capital of West Java Province, located in the Sunda Region of Indonesia.

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?

This initiative is intended to support generative research collaborations between and among scholars located in different geographical regions who wish to pursue focused, joint projects in any area of the study of religion.

Sterrenkundige Ignas Snellen onderzoekt atmosferen van exoplaneten met als uiteindelijk doel aanwijzingen voor leven te vinden. Dat lukt steeds beter dankzij alsmaar slimmere meetmethoden van zijn onderzoeksgroep. ‘Binnen tien jaar wordt het echt spannend.’ Oratie 8 november.

Soil biodiversity is of great importance for the maintenance of multifunctionality in terrestrial ecosystems.

In this thesis, we aim to shed light on the diverse and often opposing roles of integrin α3β1 in cancer.

The outbreaks of AIDS and COVID-19 showed clearly how infectious viruses can influence people’s lives. Investigating the changes in the host metabolism may provide a paradigm shift to consider immune-metabolic interactions as therapeutic targets.

Most of current public-key cryptography is considered insecure against attacks from sufficiently powerful quantum computers. Post-quantum cryptography studies methods to secure information resistant against such attacks. One proposal is isogeny-based cryptography, which bases its security on computational…

We showed that constitutive and inducible chemical and morphological defenses against Western flower thrips differ between tomato and chrysanthemum plants.

The origin and evolution of galaxies are closely linked to many different physical phenomena.

We are living in an information era where the amount of image and video data increases exponentially.

We show that Kirchhoff ’s law of conservation holds for non-commutative graph flows if and only if the graph is planar. We generalize the theory of (Euclidean) lattices to infinite dimension and consider the ring of algebraic integers as such a lattice.

Curved single crystals provide variable, but well-defined surface structures.

Sphingolipids are important membrane compounds with a variety of functions. In mammalian cells, different enzymes are involved in the metabolism of sphingolipids, but interruption of this metabolism process leads to different diseases.

This thesis focuses on amyloid proteins, a class of proteins that convert into amyloid fibrils.
