Albert Polman has been awarded the EPS QEOD Prize for Research into the Science of Light

Dr. Wiebke Albrecht has been appointed professor by special appointment in Electron and Optical Imaging of Nanomaterials at the Faculty of Science of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU). The chair was established on behalf of the Foundation for the Advancement of Atomic and Molecular Physics (‘Stichting tot bevordering van de Atoom- en Molecuulfysica’) with the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the VU.

On October 1, AMOLF launches a completely redesigned website. The new website puts AMOLF’s research and people center stage and makes it easier for different audiences to find the information they are looking for.

The EU Pathfinder project Electron Beams Enhancing Analytical Microscopy (EBEAM) that was recently completed has received a highly positive review of the European Innovation Council (EIC). EBEAM brought together eight European research institutions and companies, including AMOLF, that develop new concepts and instruments combining spectroscopic analysis with electron microscopy.

Organoids are instrumental in improving our understanding of processes that are otherwise hidden inside the body. For instance, these small 3D organs can be used to test medicines on tissue grown from a patient’s own cells. AMOLF researchers carry out unique and complex experiments to follow organoids in time. In order to enable other researchers to benefit from their experiences, they now publish their methods in the prestigious journal Nature Protocols.
