Scientists from the FOM Institute AMOLF in collaboration with Unilever R&D Vlaardingen have for the first time acquired real-time and spatially resolved information about lipid digestion in model systems.

Ions play a crucial role in a myriad of processes occurring in water, such as the folding and functioning of proteins. However, this role is not well understood and forms a topic of intense debate. AMOLF researchers have used...

AMOLF PhD student Joep Pijpers has been awarded a Rubicon grant by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) on April 7, 2010.

The executive committee of FOM has honoured five new national research programs.

On November 10th a special project together with Toyota was launched at AMOLF. Toyota finances the one year term of postdoc Enrique Canovas in the group of Mischa Bonn, who will do fundamental research into the building blocks...

The Royal Dutch Chemical Society (KNCV) awarded its gold medal to Mischa Bonn.

AMOLF spectroscopists together with catalysis researchers from Utrecht University have managed to push the frontiers of catalyst characterization in both the space and time domains by a combined approach of coherent anti-Stokes...

The efficiency of a solar cell is determined by the number of electrons that are released by light.

Protons in water are extremely mobile. AMOLF researchers have shown that a surprisingly large number of twenty water molecules is involved in proton transport, and that there are two types of water molecules that assist the...

AMOLF group leaders Mischa Bonn (Biosurface Spectroscopy group) and Gijsje Koenderink (Biological Soft Matter group) have received funding for a joint project in the field of amyloid fibrils.

Researchers of the Universities of Exeter (Great Britain), Madrid and Zaragoza (Spain) and the FOM Institute for Atomic and Molecular Physics (AMOLF) in Amsterdam have succeeded in tripling the transmission of light through a...
