On 16 October, the new biography 'Een levend kunstwerk' about Hendrik Antoon Lorentz, written by UvA emeritus professor Anne Kox, will be presented at the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds in Amsterdam.

This special colloquium on Machine Learning will be given by Chris Wiggins from Columbia University.

Science & Cocktails is a series of public talks by scientists with live music and smoky dry-ice chilled cocktails in your hand. Heino Falcke, Sera Markoff and Feryal Özel will talk about the famous Black Hole Image ...

Luka Gartner studies microscopic and micromechanical characterizations of glassy configurations. The first focus is on the mechanical properties of glasses in the context of yielding transition, which occurs as the ...

In his research, Arnon Lesage aimed to gain insight into how certain nanomaterials behave. He investigated how influence can be exerted on the photoluminescence of these materials and how this can be used.

At the LMPV symposium, the latest developments in light management for solar cells are discussed. The core of the program consists of four talks by international speakers and covers investigations of methods and ...

Jorrit Kruthoff studies AdS space-times and asked what constraints a CFT needs to satisfy in order to describe the gravitational physics in the bulk. In particular, he focuses on Einstein gravity and its bulk phase ...

Mohsin Qasi investigates the physics behind the influence of spatial confinement and crystallization modifying additives on the crystallization of the most commonly used salt, NaCl.

Lars Aalsma’s research focusses on deriving macroscopic predictions of quantum gravity. Recent studies suggest that quantum gravity effects do not always decouple at low energies and Aalsma examines this phenomenon ...

Gabriele Sabato searched for Dark Matter via the decay of Higgs bosons produced in the proton-proton collisions in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

Sagar Lokhande's research focuses on the role of quantum entanglement in the physics of black holes.

Manus Visser studies thermodynamic, emergent and holographic aspects of gravity in the context of causal diamonds. A causal diamond is the largest area in space-time that is connected to an observer during the its ...

Robbie Rens explores the details and order of rigidity transitions in disordered solids. He uses a theoretical approach as well as newly developed numerical tools.

Chun-Chia Chen describes an experimental setup for expanding the Sr “laser cooling to Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)” experiment into a steady-state system. The apparatus was designed to explore the possibility of ...

Loop models are a class of two-dimensional lattice models in statistical mechanics. The states of the model consist of continuous paths that do not end except at the boundary, and closed loops are given a weight. ...

Models of many-body quantum systems are often based on an assumption that the system is perfectly isolated from its environment, but this is not always true for their counterparts in the real world. For example, a ...

Filmmaker Huub Rutjes and pianist Yuri van Nieuwkerk both studied physics in Amsterdam. This common background led to their show ‘World in vibration’, a performance about physics, music and harmony. On the evening of ...

FYSICA, the annual physics conference of the Netherlands' Physical Society (NNV), will be organized at Amsterdam Science Park this year. The conference is aimed at all physicists in the Netherlands, from high school ...

The Bonn Physics Show comes to the Netherlands! The show with spectacular physics experiments visits Amsterdam for three performances on 5 and 6 April 2019. Tickets (free!) for the shows in the Compagnietheater are ...

Tianyi Wang studies the photophysics of novel optoelectric materials under hydrostatic pressure.
