At the largest scales, two ingredients dictate the distribution of matter in the Universe. The first is dark matter, acting as an invisible scaffolding held together by gravitational forces.

Was er sprake van dwangarbeid binnen de jeugdinstelling De Goede Herder? Op die vraag hebben Guus Heerma van Voss hoogleraar arbeidsrecht en zijn Tilburgse collega Mijke Houwerzijl de afgelopen maanden onderzoek gedaan.

Op 6 maart 2018 heeft de Minister voor Rechtsbescherming, Sander Dekker, in een Kamerbrief gereageerd op het proefschrift ‘Voorlopige hechtenis in het Nederlandse jeugdstrafrecht’, waarop mr. dr. Yannick van den Brink – universitair docent aan de afdeling Jeugdrecht – op 25 januari jl. is gepromovee…

Decarbonizing the building stock is critical for realizing the climate-neutral target for the Netherlands.

De huidige en toekomstige quantumcomputers vormen dezelfde uitdaging als de laser in zijn begindagen. In theorie werd voorspeld dat de laser een bron van zeer speciaal, zeer krachtig licht zou zijn. Maar in die tijd waren er geen duidelijke toepassingen voor. Critici van het idee noemden het een probleem…

Plants and their pollinators form complex interaction networks. Within these networks, species differ widely in the number of species they interact with.

In this thesis, we consider various (electro)chemical phenomena at surfaces and nanoparticles and their underlying atomistic processes, which we studied using first-principles methods such as density functional theory.

The focus of the dissertation

Metal production is not only energy-intensive and a major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but is also associated with other impacts affecting human health and ecosystems.

Supply risks are not new. But the aggravation of power conflicts on the international stage coupled with global shifts towards energy transition and digitalization has triggered the next supply risk research era.

This thesis comprises the development of reproducible synthesis procedures for two-dimensional materials (composed of boron, nitrogen and carbon) on different metallic surfaces.

The glycosylation reaction is a pivotal reaction in creating new and complex oligosaccharides.

This thesis contributes to studying primordial cosmology theories and their detectability in future observations.

The first direct detection of gravitational waves opened the possibility of mapping the Universe via this new and independent messenger.

This thesis is dedicated to the exploration of the primordial dark ages: unknown physics during the earliest stages of the Universe’s expansion that have not yet been directly probed by observations. Cosmic inflation is a burst of exponential expansion of space after the “Big Bang”.

Nowadays, it is well known that hydrogen and helium (and small traces of lithium and beryllium) were created shortly after the Big Bang, while the heavier elements are created in the cores of stars at different evolutionary stages. When these stars explode as supernovae, they expel metals synthesised…

In-use stocks of products can be considered as intermediaries between human needs and the physical world.

With the energy transition toward a renewable energy supply and a CO2-neutral economy, electrification of the energy system is rising in importance, which leads to the challenge of long-term storage of renewable electricity.

De docenten van de cursus Gendergerelateerd geweld zijn Marieke Liem en Mischa Dekker.

Via een 6 tal publicaties, met bijdragen van Joanne van der Leun, Jelmer Brouwer, Tim Dekkers en Maartje van der Woude, wordt er tussen 7 – 18 maart op het Border Criminologies Blog reeds een kijkje in de resultaten van het onderzoeksproject'“Decision-making in Dutch Borderlands” gegeven.

As a virtually inexhaustible source, solar energy plays a major role in future global energy scenarios.

Humanity stands at a pivotal juncture, facing the dual challenge of environmental sustainability and rapid population growth, projected to exceed 11 billion by century’s end.

The research presented in this thesis makes use of small molecules (as H2 , D2 and O2 ) on well-defined single crystal surfaces (flat Pt(111), flat Cu(211) and curved Pt(111)) to elucidate the role of surface structure and degrees of freedom in the reactant in specific surface reactions.

On a structural level, the properties featured by a majority of mechanical metamaterials can be ascribed to the finite number of soft internal degrees-of freedom allowing for low-energy deformations.

Before the large scale use of renewable energy sources can be implemented in our society, the storage of electrical energy needs to be tackled. Storage the energy as hydrogen via the reduction of protons is a good option.

Hoe heeft de functie van minister-president zich ontwikkeld? En welke vragen en problemen komen daarbij op? Dit boek geeft antwoord op alle mogelijke vragen over het ambt.

In the current global context, there is a pressing need to address sustainable energy supplies to safeguard our Planet and its ecosystems. The choices made by human society have a significant impact on genetic evolution and climate.

Human civilization consumes a huge amount of fossil fuels, which has resulted in an atmospheric CO2 level which has not been higher in over 800 millennia.

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is one of the most pressing challenges that humanity faces in the coming decades.

In this thesis, we study different curved single crystals because of the diversity of surface structures across their curvature.

The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) reduces vehicle emissions to combat climate change. EVs raise concerns regarding the production of lithium-ion batteries and related emissions; while batteries can also provide energy storage services for the electricity system.

This thesis studied in depth the energy use and CO2 emissions of the industrial sector in China.

This thesis addresses the problem of designing performance and energy efficient embedded streaming systems, that is, systems which process a stream of input data coming from the environment and generate a stream of output data going into the environment.

With increasing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and their detrimental effect on the global climate, modern society needs to push for more renewable energy sources. Storing widely accessible and abundant solar energy in chemical bonds in the form of molecular fuel via artificial photosynthesis…

The growing demand of energy indicates that global energy resources in the form of fossil fuels will not be sufficient in the future. In order to solve potential future energy problems development of a sustainable hydrogen economy is highly desirable.

Dit artikel introduceert het concept van vergelijkingsrepertoires om te verklaren hoe bepaalde vergelijkingen diep verankerd raken in de maatschappij.

Onderzoek toont aan hoe jongens reageren op bewustwordingstrainingen over intimidatie en waarom ze straatintimidatie vaak niet als 'hun' probleem zien.

Blijf op de hoogte van ontwikkelingen rondom het thema Veiligheid van Centre for Professional Learning via onze kanalen.

In dit project wordt onderzocht hoe onderzoek in de leeromgeving (Research Based Learning of RBL) studenten kan stimuleren om zelf onderzoek te gaan doen. Ook wordt gekeken naar het effect van RBL op het vermogen van studenten om kritisch te denken en op hun academische vaardigheden.

De opening van het academisch jaar 2015-2016 vond plaats op maandag 1 september 2014 in de Pieterskerk.

This thesis is a (biased) journey through very different topics in astrophysics: quasars and new populations of active galactic nuclei, gravitational waves from merging black holes, and protoplanetary discs around young stars.
