The researchers will use their grants to unravel the mysteries of materials and their properties. TU/e researchers Shuxia Tao and Nikolay Kosinov have received an ERC Consolidator Grant worth 2 million euros from the European Research Council (ERC).

In the effort to develop new quantum technologies of the future, scientists are pursuing several different approaches. One avenue seeks to use molecules as the fundamental building blocks of quantum technologies.

A research team at the Institute of Materials Chemistry at TU Wien, led by Professor Dominik Eder, has developed a new synthetic approach to create durable, conductive and catalytically active hybrid framework materials for (photo)electrocatalytic water splitting.

Within a cell, DNA carries the genetic code for building proteins. To build proteins, the cell makes a copy of DNA, called mRNA. Then, another molecule called a ribosome reads the mRNA, translating it into protein.

Two-dimensional materials such as graphene are not only ultrathin, but also extremely sensitive. Researchers have therefore been trying for years to develop highly sensitive biosensors that utilise this property.

Scientists have discovered a faster, more sustainable method for making metal-encapsulated covalent organic frameworks (COFs), materials that have the potential to play a crucial role in catalysis, energy storage, and chemical sensing.

Physicists are getting closer to controlling single-molecule chemical reactions - could this shape the future of pharmaceutical research'.

Scientists are calling for changes to chemistry textbooks after discovering a fundamental aspect of structural organic chemistry has been incorrectly described for almost 100 years.

A new study shows that artificial ponds created to restore peatlands exploited by humans achieve a balance similar to that of natural ponds, but it takes time.

New ISTA research shows how tissue development is temporally organized. When a vertebrate embryo develops, a group of cells self-organizes into the neural tube, eventually becoming the brain and the spinal cord.

The board of NWO Domain Applied and Engineering Sciences awards funding to six research projects through the Open Technology Programme. Three of the these six proposals have been awarded to Delft researchers. In total, NWO is funding the projects with 4.5 million euros, companies involved and other organisations are investing 760 thousand euros.

Yarkony, who research changed scientists' understanding of radiationless decay, had been part of the Department of Chemistry at Johns Hopkins University since 1975.
