The role of language in government errors
Language plays a bigger role than we think in government errors, according to researcher Harrie van Rooij who will defend his PhD dissertation at Radboud University on 8 February.
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.
10.000 respondents in the CityLab at the muZIEum
The CityLab was opened in 2022 with the aim of involving citizens in scientific research. This has been an initiative of the Donders Institute and the muZIEum that has found a fruitful home at the muZIEum, located in the centre of Nijmegen.
ERC Consolidator Grants for research on ‘politics of the periphery’ in Latin America and medieval social norms
Two Radboud University researchers are set to receive a Consolidator Grant from the European Research Council (ERC): Martijn Koster is a researcher from Cultural Anthropology and Development Studies, and Sven Meeder is Assistant Professor of Medieval History.
Corporate succession scheme too strict on the one hand, could be more austere on the other
There is a lot to do about the corporate succession scheme. Among other things, the scheme offers tax benefits to the corporate successor who is gifted or inherits a business. Professionals feel that the scheme could be tweaked a lot.
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.
'We need to start thinking beyond the limits of the dominant market logic’
Research by Assistant Professor Nora Lohmeyer shows that despite market forces in the global economy, multinational companies are able to tackle major societal challenges through responsible management.
ERC Consolidator Grant for Sven Meeder for research on medieval social norms
Assistant Professor of Medieval History Sven Meeder receives a Consolidator Grant from the European Research Council (ERC). The two-million-euro grant will allow him to launch a new research project.
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.
Using Artificial Intelligence to choose the best cancer treatment
Johan Kwisthout is project leader of the PersOn project: Explainable, Maintainable, and Trustworthy Decision Support Systems for Personalised Care in Oncology project.
The dikes of the future will be more than just green turf
Rising sea levels, more frequent extreme precipitation and drier summers will put increasing demands on our dikes in the future. Ecologists claim that an increase in the number of flowers and herbs will go a long way towards solving the problem.
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.’
Using data to make the world safer
Nils Jansen, working in Nijmegen as an Associate Professor, gained an EU subsidy for his research into how to make AI safer. And that is good news, because there is still a lot to gain on this subject.
A year after the invasion in Ukraine: history as a weapon
24 February 2023 marks the anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Historians Harm Kaal and Jelle van Lottum are presenting a 180-page edition of the Journal of Applied History devoted in its entirety to the Russio-Ukrainian war and how history is being used as a weapon in this conflict. “We hope this will provide insight into how we can counteract distortion and abuse of the past.”
