We are very excited to announce that the bi-annual HFML-FELIX User Meeting will be taking place July 8-10 of this year. Find out more on how to register and what is on the program here.
Researcher Arwin Kool exposes interesting materials to all kinds of extreme conditions to see - simply put - when they break. This helps him understand how their promising properties work and can be controlled.
For the first time, researchers have demonstrated that phosphorene nanoribbons - thin pieces of black phosphorus, only a few nanometres wide - exhibit both magnetic and semiconducting properties at room temperature.
Even though the density of molecules in space can be incredibly low, the immense timescales of the universe allow these molecules to eventually meet and interact. But how does this lead to the formation of new planets?
Daniël Rap, who has finished his PhD thesis at HFML-FELIX in the group FELIX Infrared and Terahertz Spectroscopy within the Institute for Molecules and Materials (IMM) of Radboud University, has been awarded one of the three IMM Best Thesis Awards 2024.
As of 2025, laser and magnet lab HFML-FELIX, known worldwide as a unique research facility, will continue within a large national partnership.
Years ago, Nobel Prize winner Harry Kroto predicted that buckminsterfullerene (C60) – a molecule discovered by himself, that looks a lot like a football – should occur in space abundantly.
Earlier this month Irina Dolgikh successfully defended her PhD thesis "Ultrafast antiferromagnetic spin dynamics in high magnetic fields"
Researchers at HFML-FELIX have - in collaboration with scientists from Groningen and Singapore - made some important discoveries on a new and very promising semi conductor.
