Discovering light in darkness: activating luminescent materials with environmental tuning
Researchers from the Institute for Molecules and Materials (IMM) of Radboud University are able to make individual nickel phthalocyanine (NiPc) molecules light up by transferring energy from similar glowing molecules, at low temperatures.
National Growth Fund: new grants for research with Radboud scientists
Ten projects from the first three rounds of the National Growth Fund will definitively be awarded a subsidy. Several projects also involve researchers from Radboud University.
Radboud voucher project evolves into consortium on neuromorphic computing
With a voucher from the Interdisciplinary Research Platform (IRP), Johan and his colleagues had the opportunity to investigate if it was possible to make scientific calculations more efficient and faster using neuromorphic hardware.
Special gel could help in surgery after pelvic organ prolapse
Twenty per cent of women who have had surgery for pelvic organ prolapse require surgery again. The synthetic PIC gel (discovered at Radboud University) might help improve this recovery process.
