Ultradense and Ultrastable molecular glasses by molecular beam deposition. KU Leuven
The project will make use of slow vapour deposition of organic molecules from the gas phase on a cooled target where T < Tg in
order to produce ultra-dense glasses. Different molecular glass formers
will be deposited in order
to study the physics of glasses and supercooled liquids particularly the
role of local phenomena and spatial heterogenities. The project also
aims at investigating the dynamics and thermal ...
Ultradense and Ultrastable molecular glasses by molecular beam deposition. KU Leuven
Organic molecular beam deposition (OMBD) is a promising tool for the preparation of glasses with extraordinary high packing density, low enthalpy and low fictive temperature. In the recent years, several organic glass formers have been investigated with respect to their ability to form ultra-stable glasses (US-glass) by physical vapour deposition, among them, H-bonding systems like polyols showed exceptional USG properties.

Integrating Coarse‐Grained Molecular Dynamics and Fluorescence Spectroscopy to Unravel Disordered Protein Condensates KU Leuven
Biomolecular condensates are cellular structures that spontaneously form via phase separation and have attracted increasing interest in recent years. They are crucial for healthy cellular function, but are also implicated in diseases. This project focusses on understanding the condensation process of the Tau protein, which is associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. Presently, the physicochemical principles ...
