The FOM Physics Thesis Prize 2011 has been awarded to dr. Klaas-Jan Tielrooij. He receives this prize worth 10,000 euros for his research into the properties of water in the vicinity of ions and molecules.read more »

Water molecules on the surface of a water mass exchange energy with each other extremely rapidly. Researchers from the FOM Institute AMOLF observed this with a new spectroscopic technique they have developed.read more »

Huib Bakker will participate in a joint research industrial partnership program (IPP) on the purification and quality control of water. read more »

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...read more »

The Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM) has awarded Dr. Yves Rezus the Andries Miedema Prize 2010 for his PhD research (on which he graduated cum laude) into the ultrafast dynamics of water molecules.read more »

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

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...read more »
