Atomic force microscopy (AFM) nanobiotechnology based platform from reaching dynamics of single molecules to versatile materials and cell mechanics Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) - nanobiotechnology based platform for achieving the dynamics of individual molecules to versatile materials and cell mechanics Ghent University
An AFM-nanobiotechnology platform that is composed of (1) a high-speed bio-AFM, and (2) an upgraded AFM with advanced sensors, is proposed. This platform will allow to study various nano(bio)technology topics at a very high state-of-the-art spatial and temporal resolution. The intended research domains include structural biology (microbial adhesins, fibril formation, protein crystallisation), nanomicrobiology (host pathogen interactions, ...
Functionalised nanofibrous organosilica membranes for advanced affinity-based separation applications Ghent University
Challenges in clean water availability have risen over the years, and especially third world countries are in great need of low-cost water purification techniques, such as separation membranes. By implementing functionalised organosilica nanofibrous membranes, an affinity-based separation mechanism at low energy-cost can be developed that withstands harsh environmental conditions. These membranes should have a desirable hydrophobicity to tune ...

Simulation of electronic excitation and emission spectra using advanced molecular dynamics combined with TDDFT. Ghent University
Spectroscopy involving electronic excited states aims at providing insight into the electronic structure and light-matter interactions of materials. New theoretical developments, such as time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT), enable the study of large systems containing up to 400 atoms. Here, we will combine detailed electronic structure methods – and in particular the popular TD-DFT method – with the exploration of energy ...
