Novel approach for scattering resonances of ultracold molecules
Scattering resonances occur in collisions between atoms or molecules when a bound state of the collision complex occurs at the collision energy. In atomic quantum gases, resonances are used to control the effective contact interactions between atoms.
Astronomers reveal dark side of pre-stellar ice chemistry
An international team led by astronomers from Leiden University used the Webb telescope to reveal the presence of several molecules in ice form in the darkest and coldest spots of a large star-forming cloud.
IMM researchers find few method for determination of D- and L-α-amino acids in complex mixtures
Enantioresolution is important for pharmaceutical, chemical and food industries. However, enantiomer separation involves complex analytical techniques as well as specialized equipment and expert personnel.
Entrepreneurial chemists develop scent-retaining T-shirts
T-shirts that retain the smell of deodorant, perfume, or aftershave while you work out. This new discovery by two chemists of a Radboud University spin-off is already for sale in their web shop. ‘We do research by day and ship packages by night.’
Take-off grants for five innovative Radboud projects
The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) has awarded Take-off grants to five Radboud projects. This allows academic and innovative start-ups to investigate whether their science-based innovative ideas are feasible and commercially applicable.
Droplets in cells determine the accumulation of proteins in age-related diseases
Tiny droplets in our cells can accelerate the accumulation of protein deposits in diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, but they can also hinder this accumulation. Chemists are set to publish their new findings on 2 December.
ERC Starting Grants for six research projects, including bullying, AI and brain mechanisms
Six researchers at Radboud University receive a Starting Grant of the European Rersearch Council (ERC). This 1.5 milion euro grant gives them the opportunity to form their own research groups.
Open Competition ENW-XS for two Radboud projects
The NWO Domain Board Science has awarded 2 Radboud applications in the Open Competition ENW-XS.
ERC Advanced Grant for research on ultrafast and energy efficient data storage
Alexey Kimel, Professor in Ultrafast Spectroscopy of Correlated Materials of Radboud University has been awarded an Advanced Grant of the European Research Council (ERC) to develop new technologic concepts for ultrafast, low dissipative data storage.
New spin-off QurieGen can have a major impact on drug development
QurieGen, a new spin-off of Radboud University that supports pharmaceutical companies in the early identification of successful drug molecules, will enable rapid decision-making during drug design cycles to determine successful drug candidates.
MUNITION: for optimalisation of plastic recycling
The MUNITION project – led by Jeroen Jansen – will develop a digital tool supporting evidence-based choices between pre-sorting or post-sorting of plastic waste.
