HDEM (High Definition Electron Microscopy): hoge definitie elektronenmicroscopie. Grotere zuiverheid via multi-dimensionaliteit. Universiteit Antwerpen
Atomaire resolutie microscopie is gebaseerd op bundels van energetische elektronen. Deze bundels vernietigen fragiele materialen vrij snel, waardoor de beeldvorming ervan een grote uitdaging vormt. Ik heb recent een nieuwe benadering ontwikkeld die het grootst mogelijke oplossend vermogen per elektron voorziet. De methode biedt zowel dubbele resolutie als uitstekende ruisonderdrukking, via multidimensionale data-acquisitie en -analyse. Hier stel ...

ESTEEM3 is an integrating activity for electron microscopy providing access to the leading European state-of-the-art electron microscopy research infrastructures, facilitating and extending transnational access services of the most powerful atomic scale characterization techniques in advanced electron microscopy research to a wide range of academic and industrial research communities for the analysis and engineering of novel materials in ...
Adaptieve transmissie-elektronenmicroscopie: ontwikkeling van een programmeerbare faseplaat(ADAPTEM) Universiteit Antwerpen
Adaptive optics, the technology to dynamically program the phase of optical waves has sparked an avalanche of scientific discoveries and innovations in light optics applications. Nowadays, the phase of optical waves can be dynamically programmed providing research on exotic optical beams and unprecedented control over the performance of optical instruments. Although electron waves carry many similarities in comparison to their optical ...
NAIL adsorptie en dynamica van nucleïnezuren op oppervlakken in ionische vloeistofomgeving. KU Leuven
Nucleic acid storage and stability is of primary importance as it finds uses in material science as nanomachines, biosensors and bioelectronics. The long-term stability and storage of DNA is a major challenge as hydrolytic reactions cause its denaturation when stored in an aqueous environment with conventional buffer solutions. Most of the devices employing nucleic acids require the nucleic acid molecule (generally DNA) to be adsorbed on the ...
Focus op het bevorderen van ruimtelijke en temporele resolutie van 3D-gestructureerde verlichtingsmicroscopie KU Leuven
Super-resolved structured illumination microscopy (SR-SIM) is an important method to surpass the resolution limit in fluorescence microscopy. SR-SIM is compatible with many fluorescent labels and ensures low photo-damage, making it an ideal candidate for live-cell imaging. However, to be truly applicable, very fast 3D imaging has to be realized, as the cellular structuring is 3D in nature and fast dynamics have to be captured. In addition, ...
SuperCol: rationeel ontwerp van superselectieve en responsieve colloïdale deeltjes voor biomedische toepassingen KU Leuven
SuperCol will train a new generation of scientists in modern super-resolution microscopy and particle functionalisation for improved colloidal design and nanoscale interfacial control for particle-based biosensing. Colloidal-particle-based materials have shown unique abilities in (bio)sensing and other applications because of their large surface-to-volume ratio and biochemical functionalisation. However, we have had only limited success in ...
Correlating the 3D atomic structure of metal anisotropic nanoparticles with their optical properties. Universiteit Antwerpen
Metal nanoparticles (NPs) are intriguing systems due to their efficient interactions with light stemming from localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs), a phenomenon which is exploited in many applications in fields ranging from physics to biology and medicine. In particular, anisotropic shapes are interesting because of strong electromagnetic field enhancements at corners and tips. Next to monometallic NPs, bimetallic NPs offer an additional ...
Synthese van spirooxindolen en indolen-geneesmiddelen met metaal-organische frameworks KU Leuven
SINMOF is a pioneering and structured effort to comprehensively address the introduction of different immobilised isolated catalytic active sites in solid hybrid materials to overcome the metal losses occurring with state-of-the-art homogeneous catalysts employed in the pharmaceutical industry. The convenient use of hybrid metal-organic framework materials (MOFs) respect to traditional state-of-the-art porous solid materials is due to (a) ...
Kristalfase-engineering van Au-nanodeeltjes voor verbeterde opwekking van zonnebrandstof KU Leuven
Artificial photocatalysis that converts CO2 into carbon fuels or produces clean energy such as H2 or NH3 from water and N2 using solar energy is an effective strategy to effectively reduce the carbon footprint and to develop a low carbon emission economy and sustainable energy in the future. Noble metal decorated photocatalysts have widely been investigated for improving the photocatalytic performance, however the effect of noble metal ...
