Our group operates at the cross-roads of different disciplines: molecular and cellular microbiology, biochemistry, structural biology and biophysics. The group harbors expertise in a multitude of molecular and cellular approaches including:

X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Cryo-electron microscopy (Cryo-EM) are the three main methods for solving structures of macromolecules.

This thesis covers various applications of topology in condensed matter physics and quantum information.

Lecture

This study by artist Jonas Staal explores the development of propaganda art from the 20th to the 21st century.

This volume challenges the idea that the development of ‘democracy’ is a story of rise and progress at all. It is rather a story of continuous but never completely satisfying attempts of interpreting the rule of the people.

This open access book explores the role of continuity in political processes and practices during the Age of Revolutions.

Debates on political legitimacy in Dutch parliament in the 1880s, 1930s, and 1960s

The research in my group addresses a range of topics related to quantum many-body physics.

PURPOSE: To determine the effect of elasticity on the skin permeation of ketoprofen from surfactant-based vesicular formulations and elastic liposomes.

All life on earth contains DNA, which is used to store biological information. Organisms compact their DNA in order for it to fit inside their cell(s).

Many galaxy clusters exhibit bright diffuse radio emission that traces the underlying structure of the intracluster medium (ICM).

Electrons in a crystal lattice have properties that may differ from those of a free electron in vacuum.

Our research primarily focuses on the early universe and its origins in theories that go beyond the Standard Model of particle physics.

Majorana fermions in superconductors are the subgap quasiparticle excitations that are their own antiparticles.

This dissertation is an experimental study of laser-generated, atmospheric pressure, transient toroidal helium plasmas.

This thesis focus on the interaction between M dwarf stellar winds and Galactic cosmic rays and the possible effects on the habitability of exoplanets.

Promotor: E. Bouwman, Co-Promotor: S. Bonnet

In this thesis, we study systems of electrons in which strong correlations give rise to emergent exotic physics.

AI Labs are collaborations of Leiden University with external parties such as industry, governmental parties and other universities on the topic of Artificial Intelligence. The Science institutes of Leiden University are unique located in the largest Bioscience Park of the Netherlands, next door to…

Geometric phases lead to a nontrivial interference result when an electron's different quantum mechanical paths choices encircle a magnetic coil in an Aharonov-Bohm experiment.

The quantum nature of matter and light has grown into a broad and fruitful research field for theorists and experimentalists alike. It combines foundational research with toward applications, the most well known of which is the quantum computer.

This thesis explores how electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy can be used to investigate key biochemical processes.

The Faculty of Humanities is housed in various buildings situated in the historical centre of Leiden and in the modern Wijnhaven Building in The Hague.

Papers written on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Institute of Prehistory, Volume I.

Caspar Reuvens, the world’s first Professor of Archaeology, was a prominent classical scholar and from his appointment in 1818 onwards Classical & Mediterranean Archaeology has been an important field of research in Leiden.

The history of sign languages of deaf people is severely understudied. The historical linguistics of sign languages offers a fundamentally new perspective on the history of human languages. This project addresses the dearth of knowledge about historical sign language linguistics through a large-scale…
