Why Photonic Chips Are the Next Frontier in Quantum Technology Photonic chips, which manipulate light instead of electrons, promise faster data transfer, lower power consumption, and higher integration density. For the Netherlands, a country that has positioned itself as a leader in high‑tech research, the recent €16 million investment from the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research […]
How Gravitational Waves Reveal the Hidden Mass of the Universe Gravitational waves, the ripples in spacetime first predicted by Einstein, have become a powerful tool for probing the cosmos. Recent work from the University of Amsterdam’s Institute of Physics shows that the subtle distortions in these waves, produced when black holes merge, can carry fingerprints […]
What Makes a Nanoscale Chameleon a Breakthrough in Metamaterials The University of Amsterdam’s latest research demonstrates how a thin silicon mesh can change its reflected color from green to red simply by stretching. This achievement, published in ACS Photonics, showcases a new class of mechanical‑optical metasurfaces that combine structural color with flexible design. For researchers, […]
What the Faculty of Impact Fellowship Means for HIMS Researchers The University of Amsterdam (UvA) has announced two new Faculty of Impact fellowships specifically designed for researchers at the Van ’t Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences (HIMS).
