This work describes several studies into the electroreduction of carbon dioxide (CO2RR), both regarding mechanistical aspects and catalyst stability considerations. Mechanistic insights into carbon-carbon bond formation on a silver catalyst are described in Ch 2, were we find an acetaldehyde-like surface…

This thesis investigates reactive interfaces in surface science across three domains: heterogeneous catalysis, environmental nanoplastics, and two-dimensional materials.

Understanding how nature captures and transfers solar energy is essential both for elucidating biological photosynthesis and for guiding the design of artificial light-harvesting systems.

Wetlands provide many ecosystem goods and services which include fish production. The sustainability of small-scale fisheries (SSF) has received considerable attention in recent years because fish is one of the major sources of animal protein to a considerable fraction of the global population which…

Breeding for resistance becomes more and more important because we want to reduce the use of pesticides. A fast and cheap alternative can be to make use of morphological or chemical markers.

Complex Organic Molecules (COMs) have been detected in objects across different stages of stellar evolution.

In this thesis, I targeted the orchid genus Lepanthes, one of the six genera of angiosperms that surpasses 1,000 species in the Neotropics, as a study model to investigate the evolutionary processes that promoted species diversifications.

In this dissertation iron-based homogeneous catalysts were synthesized, characterized and investigated for water oxidation activity.

This thesis investigates catalytic reactions at the atomic scale using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), with a focus on Fischer–Tropsch synthesis, a key industrial process that converts hydrogen and carbon monoxide into liquid fuels.

In this thesis the links between allergy and intestinal health, the gut microbiome (GM), and external factors were studied by exploring the metabolome in longitudinal clinical studies and in vitro models.

ILS 2.0: De winnende drie voorstellen 2016-2020

Afgelopen week werden nieuwe cijfers over de krapte op de arbeidsmarkt gepubliceerd. Deze krapte wordt in veel sectoren ervaren. Waar komen de personeelstekorten vandaan? En welke oplossingen zijn voorhanden? Hoogleraar economie Olaf van Vliet geeft duiding aan de personeelstekorten op NU.nl.

Veel werkgevers ervaren dat de arbeidsmarkt momenteel erg krap is. Om deze krapte te verkleinen kan aan verschillende oplossingsrichtingen worden gedacht. Zo kunnen lonen worden verhoogd, of kunnen werkgevers worden gestimuleerd om meer uren te gaan maken, aldus Olaf van Vliet, hoogleraar Universiteit…

Op vrijdag 24 maart gaf prof: Amanda Perry-Kessaris (Kent Law School) een korte workshop over data visualisation voor de promovendi van de afdeling Economie. Tijdens deze workshop werden de promovendi uitgedaagd om door middel van LEGO hun onderzoek te visualiseren. Amanda Perry-Kessaris gaf daarna…

Technologische ontwikkelingen staat nooit stil. Machines kunnen al veel taken overnemen, en in de toekomst waarschijnlijk nog meer. Welke beroepen worden hierdoor met uitsterven bedreigd en welke banen blijven nog wel een tijdje bestaan? Hoogleraar economie Olaf van Vliet bespreekt deze vraag in het…
